Convert phpbb to ipb


Makke

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm trying to convert data from my phpbb forum to my new ipb forum. I'm using the converter provided by IPS. But I have no clue how I can convert it.

In the documentation I read that I have to upload the content of the 'upload' map. But where do I need to upload it to? To which folder? Because when I upload the files and folders, I don't see 'Applications Not Installed' in 'Manage Applications & Modules.'. So I can't install it.

Currently I'm running the IP.Board 3.4.8 version.

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Maarten

Yeah,

 

I've uploaded everything. I select the 'phpBB 3.0 / 3.1' for IP.Board (I have a phpBB 3.1.5). I've filled in all the database information fields and when I continue, I get the error:

Error

An unexpected error occurred, could not locate conversion ID. Please try again.
Go Back

Some of the conversions aren't available like group permissions I think. 

Try to convert phpBB to IPB 3.4.x then from IPB 3.4.x to IPS.
