Topic: Converting from phpBB

I'm having some trouble with the conversion tool.

In the converter, I do this:

PunBB database: db/forum.db
PunBB prefix:
Hostname/user: Different host/user
Convert forum: phpBB
Username: ttt
Password: TTT's PASSWORD
Database: ttt
Prefix: phpbb_

ttt is the phpBB user in my MySQL database.

The destination forum is using an SQLite backend. The installation went smoothly. I've tested it before, and PunBB works.

Now, when I press 'Start converter', I get a page with this error:

An error was encountered
File: /www/bkhl/forum.tretrallandetokar.se/converter/index.php
Line: 47

Converter reported: Unable to check PunBB version
Database reported: (Errno: )


What am I doing wrong?

Re: Converting from phpBB

Don't answer this for my sake anymore. We were in a bit of a hurry, and the old forum hadn't been running that long, so we decided to just start over from the beginning.
