Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 22, 20159 yr 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
October 22, 20159 yr Community Expert Hi, Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to the same location as your con_global.php, so that the admin and interface folders merge with the ones that are already there.

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

I've filled in all the database information fields and when I continue, I get the error: 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. Best regards UKF
October 27, 20159 yr Author I'm currently running IP.Board 3.4.8. So if I'm not mistaken, I'm doing the first step that you suggest?

October 27, 20159 yr Author I don't think I completely understand you. You mean that I have to host IP.Board local?
