Topic: crypted password

I have used phpbb until now and am in progress of converting the databas to punbb. I have one problem though, and that is the password cryptation! Phpbb is using MD5 what I know of and punbb is using that and another! I changed my password to the same one on both phpbb and punbb and checked the database if they'd be the same; they weren't!

Is the only way to solve this to make punbb just cryptate in md5 or is there another way to solve it?

Re: crypted password

PunBB is using SHA-1 if it's available. If not, it falls back on MD5 instead. There's no problem converting the forum, beqause PunBB recognize which function to use by looking at the length of the saved hash.

Re: crypted password

aaah, great! Thank you for that!

Re: crypted password

OK, I have encounterd a small problem! I get this message when I try to convert the ser database:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in KONVERTERA-FORUM.php on line 37

I have got that sort of message before, but can't remember how I solved it.

Can it be that phpBB's fields in the user database is of other types? For example phpBB's ID field is INT(10) while punBB's ID field is mediumint(8).

Re: crypted password

"KONVERTERA-FORUM.php"? Which converter do you use?

my own smile

using a while-loop to transport all content from the phpbb fields to the punbb fields.

Okay :)

I've done converters you could use instead if you like. Download them here.

Re: crypted password

aaah, thx!

Ther's one problem thought smile You have included 2 files of every file! There's one copy of each in the zip file and another copy in the "phpbb" map in the zip file. How come? Do I have to upload it all?

I've made a mistake there :) You only need the files in file's root (not the folder).
