Re: Phpbb2 To Icy Phoenix
-----------------------------------
[quote user="Huor" post="20290"]Hi Folks,

i am very new to here and still got a question concerning the conversation from phpBB2 to Icy ;D

I first did a search about that topic but still found the info that is listed also in the documentation how to transform from phpBB2 to icy (also the spoiler one post above).
But this would not help me.

Let me try to explain:

I have a phpBB board at my site running but i want to install icy. So i did an installation (transformation) listed in the documentation. After i had done this icy was working BUT my normal board was not accessible. What i want to have is to install icy - copy all content from the phpBB to icy and have (for a limited time) 2 boards running - so i can work with the new one, change something - while the normal users can work with the existing one.

Dunno if I could figure out my problem...
Is there a possibility to do this without loosing my original phpBB board?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards

Just copy your phpbb2 forum db and import into a fresh icy db install. the prefixes have to be the same.
