Topic: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

I keep getting errors..


-------------------------------------------
Error: Unable to locate PunBB!

Please put the converter in the PunBB root directory.
-------------------------------------------


I've tired loading it in the main directory 'punbb' then making a folder called converter 'punbb/converter' both tries gave me errors..

any suggestions/links?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

is punbb installed? i'm not sure how the convertor works but i think it needs punbb to be installed with a config.php to begin with

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

Are you trying to use it with PunBB 1.2 perhaps?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

yea i have 1.2 installed.. is there a newer or older version it works with? then i could just upgrade the lower version if need be or how does this work?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

The converter does not support PunBB 1.2 at this time. The only way to convert from phpBB to PunBB 1.2 is to first convert to PunBB 1.1 and then upgrade to 1.2.

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

I just tried 1.0 aswell, and it still gives me the same msg, whats goin on?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

it should work on 1.1.* or 1.2 are you 100% sure you put it in the convertor folder within punbb not phpbb?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

well if I recall correctly I tried 1.2, 1.1 and 1.0... but never 1.1.* so i'll give it another shot..

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

"Error: Unable to fetch forum config. "

the config.php file is there..

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

Enable debug mode and paste what you get

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

PunBB reported: Unable to fetch forum config
Database reported: Table 'shmikx_punbb.config' doesn't exist (Errno: 1146)

is that supposed to be a file? like the config.php should be shmikx_punbb.config?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

ttt anyone?

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

What did you do? Did you overwrite your 1.2 files with the 1.1 files? You can't just do that. Re-upload the 1.2 files and then download the converter beta that supports 1.2.

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3

What do you mean by not working? A part of the database is migrated and than I get this message...

Re: phpBB to punBB 2.0b3
