I actually don't know the answer to this. I took the forum offline approx 6mos ago. So not too long ago.
Does this help at all?

Topic: OLD TO NEW QUESTION (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hello. I have an old punbb database that I would like to set back up on new server.
Wondering if someone could simply give me some advice & suggestions on loading the old database up into a fresh install of punbb (1.2.17) --
Can I load up 1.2.17 and get it running and then easily populate it with an old database? If so, how?
If not, what suggestions to handle this scenario?
THANKS SO Much!

OK, so I'm facing a learning curve here but great learning experience!
Have followed your directions and am working with phpMyAdmin for the first time:
facing problem of apparently trying to upload file that's too big.
And now getting following error message: "#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci' at line
Any suggestions? THANKS.

Topic: switching servers need guidance (4 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hello. I'm newbie but trying to learn as fast as possible. If anyone could help me with the process of switching servers greatly appreciate it.
Not sure how to take punBB forum we've been using for year or so and move it in its entirety to a new server.
Process so far: Have tried backing up everything, ftp'ing this to new server, finding folder where the forum lives, loading the forum via install.php and then ftp'ing new config.php file. I've created new mySQL database for it, loaded in proper settings, etc. .....but....when punBB forum is created it's brand new forum without any of the data/posts we've compiled.
Sure I'm simply missing some steps here. Any advice? MUCH THANKS.

FORGET MY QUESTION!! I DID IT! completed my first installation ever. so many of the pieces that i've been trying to figure out how they all worked together, FTP, text editors, php, cgi, and it worked. woohoo. the newbie has taken a baby step. feeling pretty good. i know it's simple for all you guys who've been doing this work for years and years, but for us newbies who don't know diddly it's the little moments like these that motivate.

Topic: An error occured on .... (installation difficulty) (1 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
just tried to do my first install (ever) and ended up getting to the ending where it states I need "To finalize the installation...copy and paste the text in the text box below into a file called config.php and then upload this file to the root directory of your PunBB installation...
does this mean for me to create my own file and then upload it into the root directory?
only problem is, I don't know how to do this, just trying to learn and wanted to give installation a try. Help and/or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Warmest, Will
