phpBB3 to ModphpBB3 1.0.5 Conversion Instructions

[LDM]

Strange, I used those files to convert before adding the zip. If you set us up an ftp account and a root account for the forum, I can have a look.

[nascarnut]

I have set up an ftp but it is telling me login failed. Maybe I have to wait a bit for it to get updated

[LDM]

I just had another look at the folders, the arcade one is actually /index.php (have also changed first topic to reflect now)

[nascarnut]

Well I set idle long enough that my acp logged me out. Now what can I do. It won't let me log back in as admin now

[LDM]

Delete your browser cookies and the link at the footer of your forum.

[nascarnut]

I deleted my cookies through my browser. Not sure what you mean by the link at the footer

Delete your browser cookies and the link at the footer of your forum.

At the bottom of prosilver there is a link to delete board cookies.

[nascarnut]

I don't think I had the prosilver theme on and the one I do have on doesn't have that link. I am reupping my old forum back and I will import my database back in and start over and see what happens

[LDM]

yep good idea

[nascarnut]

Well I have it back up and running now. Is it alright to have prosilver2 for my style when I try this again. I am going to have to do it tomorrow though. My wife needs on here now.

[LDM]

yep it is best to have prosilver set as default style for converting it over.

[nascarnut]

Well I wnet through the steps again and still having problems. This is the error I get when I load my forum now:
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'theoutdo_pbb01.chat' doesn't exist [1146]

Also in step 8 it says to purge the cache. I am not sure where I should do that at.

[nascarnut]

Well I found the purge cache and when I did that I got this:
General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Table 'theoutdo_pbb01.acl_arcade_roles_data' doesn't exist [1146]

SQL

SELECT * FROM acl_arcade_roles_data ORDER BY role_id ASC

I got several faults when trying to upgrade from my plain, new phpbb3. I solved several faults by searching here and gugle, but at the end I gave up, and installed a plain new portal. Im sure I could have worked out everything at last, but since Im not an php/MySql-expert (far from...), I couldnt use more time for this.
No big trouble, I had only a few hundreds posts and 30-something users, so they just have to reregister. Install of the new portal worked as a charm. The portal is really a nice piece of work!

[LDM]

I am not sure why some are getting some errors. When I tested it, it seemed to go through trouble free. Maybe an issue with cookies?
