Topic: Converted from phpbb no admin permissions

Hello,

I converted a test forum from phpbb 2.0.20 to the most recent punbb release with the punbb migration tool. All members and posts were correctly converted. However, when I wanted to login to the admin panel with my own account, I got a message telling me I didn't have persmission to access it. Anyone knows what when wrong?

Thanks!

As far as I know, passwords don't get transferred, so you'll need to use the Forgotten Password function smile

I was logged in as user zzillezz ... So I think the passwords were converted correctly.

Did you select yourself as an administrator with the conversion tool?

Yes I did. I'll redo the conversion tonight and see if that changes anything.

I've redone the whole thing ... but I get the same.

" You do not have permission to access this page. "

I would really like to convert my live forum to punbb, but this problem is making me mad :-)

Is it right to set my username both as Admin and as Moderator in the converter?

No. You can only be in one usergroup at a time smile
