How would I go about using this script if I have two seperate logins for mysql. ie:

phpBB2
username: phpBB
database: phpBBforums
passwd: phpBBpass

Vbulletin
username: vbulletin
database: vbulletinforums
passwd: vbulletinpass

As you can see when I try to perform the import It can not connect to my phpBB database because it uses a different username/pass then what is listed in vbulletin's config.php

thanks in advance

I have tried this 3 times now, I keep recieving this error!

Help!

Oh, I get the error while importing topics!

Here is what I suggest. First make a backup of your phpBB database. Then find the topic that it is hanging on and delete it. On my main site which I am getting ready to convert, I have had to delete at least 4 topics now to get it working. Once I make sure everything is ok, I will then wipe out my vb database and start from scratch. When I tested this on another one of my test boards, I had 2 topics that needed removed before the script would run. But after getting rid of those 2 topics, it worked fine.

seeing a weirdness, I am getting timeouts errors also... I am not sure it is the same topic... digging more

Same post... going to dump it and see how it goes...

Sorry I've been away for so long.

Or, you could set the amount of topics it parses per cycle even lower...

Version 0.9.5 is out. This version fixes the problem with avatars not importing. They now import without a problem, though if you choose to import avatars, it may take extra time during the process, since vBulletin has to grab every image file, which can take some time ;)

I also updated the BBCode routine to support the 'reply with quote' tag. Basicially, it now converts [ quote=Nebula] into [ quote]Topic originally posted by Nebula.

Also, I submitted this version to JelSoft, and they are considering merging this with their official one. We'll see how it goes ;)

the lower post count is not working in the new version, I had 7 post I had to remove last time before I got tired of doing that...

thanks

...I'm curious what the posts were that you had to delete...did they have anything in them, like a poll or something?

Great to hear about the avatars. I am getting ready to convert my production board over this weekend so I will be doing another test run on it probably tomarrow. I will post links to the threads which cause any hangups so you can check them out.

Thanks again for all your work :)

p.s. Has anyone figured out how to transfer user groups over yet?
