Hi,
I would like to convert my forum from SMF 1.1.15 into IP 1.3.24.77.
Searching this forum I did not find definite answer.
1) What is the best procedure? To convert from SMF to phpbb2, and then to IP?
2) Do I have to install phpbb2?
Thanks in advance!
Converting From SMF 1.1.15
Subject: Re: Converting From SMF 1.1.15
You should convert first to PhpBB 2 , and that includes installing it first.

Ehm, yes. I do have some problems with converting form SMF to phpbb2.
I was going to do few more runs with it before reporting here, but since you ask :)
After several attempts, I managed to import boards, but no users and messages. On convert, there was an SQL error:
Some time ago I experienced similar error, that I was able to solve. I'll check it out more.
If I'm allowed to post links as progress report, here is the current state of conversion:
http://lockonhr.com/phpbb2/
... and here is active SMF forum:
http://lockonhr.com/forum/index.php
I do have many mods on SMF, most importantly TinyPortal. I'll remove all mods and then do an export/import of such "clean" SMF forum.
But, I think that I will proceed with that on my local PC, rather then on a live website.

you should convert on a separate instalicion, with a copy of your site.
never with the original.
and always make a backup of everything

@spydie
Yes, I'm working with backup only :)
Current I lack free time to do everything in one go.
@Joshua203
Thanks, but what post exactly?
I'm cleaning up my (backup) smf from all the mods. I've done some serious customizations over last 4 years. God, what a waste of time...

I'm not sure why you don't see the question and the reply to it because the link refers directly to the first post containing the question, but here you go:
I know the error report is not 100% the same but to me it looks somewhat similar :wink:

Maybe some RDBMS allows "-1" as "infinite", but apparently mysql does not.
