Reply To: phpbb import Stalled / Hangs
Yes, it was a remote server and for some reason would not work with the IP … said “no forums found” or something like that.
Then I moved it (wordpress) to the same server as phpbb because I needed it for the bridge (wp-united) … which I tried, but got mixed up on the MOD installation. Im not a phpbb guy, and know nothing about MODS – also did not want it bridged … but rather pulled over to bbpress.
So I thought … well try the import now with localhost since it is now on the same server.
The bridge plugin is deactivated and deleted.
phpbb settings match exactly with the config file. Though in the database there is both phpbb_ and phpbb3_ for prefixes … phpbb3_ is the one listed in config. But I did try with both just to see and ended up with the same response of starting … but then nothing at all.
Ive been working on this site now since February, back and forth to fine tune everything and the “very last” piece is to just get his current phpbb into bbpress for “1” platform / admin / user interface vs having 2 separate sites, users, logins, etc.
Just need to get this wrapped up and find it impossible to get any of the import functions to work via the built in forum import, or the plugins I have tried.
