I am attempting to import bbpress 1 forum into the new bbpress plugin on a new site using the Import Forums tool in WordPress. I successfully did this in a test – once. I tried to do another test and haven’t been able to do it again successfully. When I start the conversion I get the yellow box at the bottom “Starting Conversion” and the turning wheel… the wheel keeps turning… an hour later, it’s still turning. It’s not progressing. I have to quit out of it. There is no new data in the DB. What is the issue here?

Solved. I changed the IP address. Rackspace apparently uses 2 different IPs – one for DB management. Sorry for the false alarm.
