Thanks. The first link is one year old and the link to the converter is broken.
The second link is three years old.

A quick search leads me to this: http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/converter/smf_1.1.x_to_phpbb3/
Which version of SMF are you using?

I am using 1.1x. I was able to successfully convert to phpBB. You can see the converted forum here:
http://leftcoastlogic.com/forum/phpbb/
I have full admin access to this, and checked that the tables, topics, posts and users were all successfully converted to phpbb.
I then downloaded the phpbb-to-bbpress script from code.google.com (per other posts here):
http://code.google.com/p/phpbb3-to-bbpress1-converter/
Following instructions, I began the conversion and it stepped through the process. It appeared to have completed the “converting posts” step, although the last step had some strange text:
View post on imgur.com
I then proceeded to the next step, “convert users data”, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
I then tried to run the script a second time, and got this error message:
View post on imgur.com
So, I guess I’m not having much luck converting my phpBB forum to bbPress. Any suggestions?

Just checking – any suggestions?

The first image looks fine to me. Probably some post text is showing up before the proceed statement.
In the second image, there is an error saying that there was a url that was long and is not allowed in bbPress. You would have to probably remove those manually and re-run the script.
The third is also an error. Please delete all topics and posts from the database, not from the front-end as it doesn’t actually deletes them.

#2 How do I remove the long URL? I have no idea where to find that.
#3 How do I delete topics and posts from the database?
Sorry, I’m not a developer.
