What stage do you get to though now?
It just imported nothing. I will try again today.
Thanks Stephen
I tried again as suggested. Manually deleted previous suer import, reset forums, did not check purge previous
Same problem, it’s just hanging.
A couple of things I noticed, on the reset its is all successful except:
“Deleting Conversion Table… Failed”
As well as the actual users there are a lot of bots etc. (e.g. AdsBot Google, Ask Jeeves Bot)
Before importing I had pruned phpbb users down to only actual users with minimum 1 post, so i don’t understand where those bots are coming from. They certainly don’t show up in a search on phpbb forum for users.
after you get this, you need to do a repair
Yes, I did the repairs, all of them – it made no difference.
Thanks very much
It’s a tiny database 455KB, the forum has only one forum, 70 topics. So it seems I can safely assume it’s just not working.
I have all the correct vales, exactly as on the config.php
This is what I see:
“Delete users WordPress default passwords (0 – 99)
Converting users (0 – 99)
Deleting previously converted data (0 – 99)
Starting Conversion”
After an hour or so of this (with the spinning wheel thing) I can go to Forums in the admin dashboard and sometimes there will appear to be a forum with 70 topics, but on the fornt page only a forum with 0 topics.
Other times I try the import and there is just no forum at all.
Is there a premium support for this? I would be happy to pay for some help.
First up, make sure you have run the phpBB recount tools which ‘should’ make sure phpB database is in good shape before you get started.
I’m also having a problem importing from phpbb, can you please tell me where I find the phpbb recount tools?
Thanks
