Re: A phpBB to bbPress database converter

I am having problems with the phpbb2bbpress converter (http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/).

When I run the file I just get this message. There isnt a sql-file to download or a file created on my server.

1: I downloaded the file from: http://www.iteisa.com/phpbb2bbpress/

2: I edited the lines I have written in bold.

Code:
define(‘DB_PHPBB_USERNAME’, ‘[strong]databasename[/strong]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_PASSWORD’, ‘[b]databasepassword[/b]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_DATABASE’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_PHPBB_TABLEPREFIX’, ‘phpbb_’);

define(‘DB_BBPRESS_HOSTNAME’, ‘localhost’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_USERNAME’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_PASSWORD’, ‘[b]databasepassword[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_DATABASE’, ‘[b]databasename[/b]’);
define(‘DB_BBPRESS_TABLEPREFIX’, ‘bb_’);

I only have one database on my server, so the databasename and password is the same on the phpbb and bbpress part

Code:
define(‘EXPORT_TO_FILE’, true); // Should the converted DB be exported to a file ?
define(‘FILENAME’, ‘/tmp/phpbb_imported.sql’); // Which one ? (Ensure this path is writeable by the server)
define(‘AUTO_IMPORT_EXPORTED_DATA’, false); // Should the script automagically import the converted DB ?

3: I created the folder tmp at the root and used chmod on it.

4: I uploaded the file to the root and tried to open it but I couldnt. So I removed the s in .phps and it worked. But i only got this message – but nothing really happened. I cant download a file, and there is nothing on my server. What am I doing wrong?

This script can convert a PhpBB 2.0.X (www.phpbb.com) forum database to bbPress “Bix” 0.73 (www.bbpress.org) format.

Developed by Jaime GÓMEZ OBREGÓN from ITEISA, based on the previous work of Bruno Torres and The phpBB Group.
