Moving From Phpbb 2.0.22

Hi.
I have a much modded board
***.lowriderforums.com
and want to go to IcP.
IcP covers all of the mods [or variants] that I have anyway and I know I have some stuff from deleted mods.
Can i do a fresh IcP install and then use my existing phpbb DB?
or should I do fresh phpbb install then upload the DB then change it to IcP?

amy help would be gratfuly recieved as i get lost easily [ didnt have computers when I went to school all those years ago ]

Re: Moving From Phpbb 2.0.22

Hi,

for me it was nearly the same. I had a modded phpbb.

I made a fresh installation of IP in a new DB. Then I make a Backup (only Inserts) of the necessary tables from my phpbb.

Before I import the backup I delete all contens of the IP tables in which I want to import my backup.

At least I imported the backup. That was the best way for me. Probably there are other ways but this works for me at best.

Hi and welcome iain,

yes you can do an update from phpbb.

You should choose this last version of Icy Phoenix

Then follow upgrade instruction

Upgrade From Icy Phoenix 1.1.0.15

Spoiler: [ Show ]

Please follow the instruction step by step and don't care about point 10.

Fresh Installation

Spoiler: [ Show ]

Use from the fresh installation point 3 and 4 to set permission.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Hi, as I can remember step 6 of the installation is wrong. Don't lock your site and try again.

Re: Moving From Phpbb 2.0.22

Thanks to all of you who have provided answers to this topic. Yet, it seems to me not clear enough how exactly one must proceed in order to complete a database import from Phpbb 2.0.22 into IP (the stable version) without lose of data.
I would very much appreciate a brief but clear tutorial on what exactly must be done (step-by-step).
I believe such a tutorial would clear many questions and would provide a more than welcome support to many of us.

Thanks in advance, folks.

Re: Moving From Phpbb 2.0.22

At first try it like the way its described here:

http://www.icyphoenix.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1997

Upgrade From phpBB

You don't have to lock you site (step 6). This produces errors for many people.

When this doesn't work you can try that my solution:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did it in that way:

1. Fresh installation of Ip in a new database. Its also possible to use the same database with another table prefix
2. Backup of the following phpbb2 tables:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

 phpbb_auth_access 

 phpbb_banlist 

 phpbb_categories 

 phpbb_forums 

 phpbb_groups 

 phpbb_posts 

 phpbb_posts_text 

 phpbb_privmsgs 

 phpbb_privmsgs_archive 

 phpbb_privmsgs_text 

 phpbb_ranks 

 phpbb_search_results 

 phpbb_search_wordlist 

 phpbb_search_wordmatch 

 phpbb_sessions 

 phpbb_sessions_keys 

 phpbb_topics 

 phpbb_topics_watch 

 phpbb_users 

 phpbb_user_group 

 phpbb_vote_desc 

 phpbb_vote_results 

 phpbb_vote_voters 

 phpbb_words

3.I edited the backup file, that I only had the insert statements (I opened the sql file with an editor an deleted everythink except the insert statements)

The result was like this:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

INSERT INTO `ip_search_results` (`search_id`, `session_id`, `search_array`, `search_time`) VALUES

...

4. Change the prefix of all backup tables to the prefix you use for IcyPhoenix. In this example you would change phpbb_ to ip_ (you can use the search and replace function)

5. Clear all IcyPhoenix tables in witch you want to insert (the same table names as mentioned in 2 with other prefix)

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

SQL Query:

TRUNCATE TABLE `<table name>`;

...

6. Insert your backup file in the database of IcyPhoenix.
