hi, im new here. i've been wanting to try out punBB to see just how much better it is than phpBB. i wanted to be able to let my visitors (the few) not have to worry about missing posts or anything so i asked mako for advice and he showed this, which brings me to my questions.
(not a programmer so forgive any misplaced/misused terms...lol)
1. where on my server do i execute the convertor? do i just upload the folder to my servers public_html (root for my server ) directory and run that directory in my browser or does it have to be in my phpBB directory somewhere.
2. if i execute it in the root, then i get the following:
Page: _start (0)
Clearing tables...
Adding guest account
Error:
Unable to add Goust-user
(Go back)
MySQL error:
Table 'cpayk_punforums.punbb_users' doesn't exist
File: /home/cpayk/public_html/PhpBB Convertor/_start.php
Line: 40
reseti know that the DB cpayk_punforums exists and that it has the .punbbn_users table. im looking right at it (remember, im not a programmer so i just might be stupid). as far as i can see, i'm entering the correct prefixes(which i kept default from install) and the db names are right. my server account and pass are defintaly right. i also got another error but that seemed to go away somehow. off the top of my head, i think it was an insert error on line 22 of _start.php. i don't know if anything i've so far is useful but i figured i'd give it a shot.
