Topic: Migration tool problems

Hi, im trying to convert my phpbb forum to punbb, i tried it on my own comp(with an apache server) first, and it worked great.

but then i put the exact same files up on our webhotel, added all the databases, all the files, fixed permissions etc...
but when i try go to http://xxxxxxblabla.com/forum/converters/ it takes a long while to load and then all i get is a white page with no content...

if the LOCKED file is in the folder, it shows me the error-message that its already been converted.

anyone else had this problem or does anyone know what could cause it?

Re: Migration tool problems

yeah, thats why i find it odd, at first i thought "maybe its ip-restricted to localhost?" but i couldnt find anything like that in the code :\

Re: Migration tool problems

Yeah, I'm not sure either, since I don't recall anything in the code that would be doing intense processing
Could you check your server's error log and see if anything popped up?
