Ok... tonight is the night that I'll import my board to vB. I wanted to post my check list here before I do it, so if you have any recommendations about it.[list=1][*]Close UB2k board[*]Run "update database" on UB2k[*]Run "backup database"[*]Install vB
Questions.... since I'll be installing vB on my server for the first time. Is there a need to create a main board or category on the new installation of vB? Or should I leave it without any board/categories and run the importer? Should I create a admin account on vB? Because I want to maintain my user profile (# of posts) of my current UB2k admin profile (nickname WebMaster). I guess I'll need to use that nickname too. Would this cause any problems?[*]Modify ubimporter.php to match my system[*]Copy ubimporter.php to the folder where it can access the backup files (ie. /cgi-bin/UltraBoard/Private/Backups)[*]Create a "ubimporter" folder in that same place (chmod 777)[*]If running, close vB[*]Run ubimporter.php and follow the steps[*]After import delete ubimporter.php and ubimporter folder[*]Run all functions under "Update Counters" in vB control panel[/list=1]
Did I missed something? Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help
