maybe check with your system admin? unless you are running this urself... otherwise... i don\'t have an answer. :T anyone else wanna take a stab?

Im no system admin..:(

I tried to increase the memory in the converter script adding this ini_set(\"memory_limit\",\"36M\");

Now it does not give me the error but the script does end....but firefox says its ended...but no...the users are not imported the topics are not imported only my forums are imported and nothing more...

attached is the modded version of the original phpbb2fb file concerning the issues addressed in my [url=http://www.bestofjoomla.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,38/func,view/id,3850/catid,6/limit,12/limitstart,0/#2192]original post[/url].

I was cleaning up my desktop and was about to junk the file, but before doing so, I fig maybe this could help someone out that had the same issue as i did.:S

[b]File attached below[/b] ... and remember to set your $host, $user, $pass, and $db fields at the beginning of the file.

so no users or topics... then what exactly was imported when you mention \"only my forums\"?

Hi again and thanks for all your help!

Only the Categories and names of the several forums and child forums....not topics or messages or users...nothing more than the categories, names of forums...

What I can say is that you have many posts that your code ran out of memory. The converter I finished for SMF (to be releasd) is using Ajax to load balance the whole migration. Maybe we can modify it for phpbb too.

This would be great, just if the conversion scripts get taken to a higher level!

What do you think?

Thanks
