Converting EzBoard to phpBB...

Technical Website Design/Showcase

I need a little help converting a EzBoard to phpBB.

I change the settings just like the readme said to:

// modify the following parameters where needed  
$root_url = "http://pub57.ezboard.com/fleftbehindthekidsmbfrm1";      // points to ezboard forum (destination)
$forum_name = "General";                    	// name of existing (empty) destination
$default_password = "password";                              // default password to be assigned to all users
$max_executiontime = 4;                                      // maximum allowed time to run script
$debug = "N";                                                // set to "Y" to print sql commands
$closeThreadImage="closeThread.gif";                         // set to name of image used for closed threads
$multiple_pages = "Y";                                       // set to "Y" if forum contains > 1 pages

$strip_html = "N";                                           // set to "Y" to strip (most) html from bodytext
$strip_crlf = "Y";                                           // set to "Y" to strip cr/lf from bodytext (most useful when strip_html is "N")

The error message I get when I run this script is:

Warning: fopen("http://pub57.ezboard.com/fleftbehindthekidsmbfrm1?page=1","r") - No such file or directory in /users/coolfreepages.com/lbkfanforums/phpBB2/admin/ezboard.convert.php on line 114
ERROR: http://pub57.ezboard.com/fleftbehindthekidsmbfrm1?page=1 could not be opened sql_error: Table 'DB_nac11551.phpbb_ezboard_conversion' doesn't exist

I tried this converter on my local machein, but it won’t work on the web. If anybody could help, it would be greatly apprecated.

Do you have the database: “DB_nac11551.phpbb_ezboard_conversion”?

My MySQL DB is “DB_nac11551”, but when I tried adding the table “phpbb_ezboard_conversion” (phpMyAdmin), it won’t add it. (Does anyone know if comcast will allow you to make a public websever, pleeeeaaaasssee let me know.)

Did you try posting on the phpBB forums? They maybe be able to help you better there. Some of them are pretty good :]

hey…

when I visited your link, i get :The page you were trying to access was not found or has been deleted for terms violation

My first guess to the problem if it works at home, but not online is that coolfreepages has disabled some function.

Ok, for some reason, CFP has deleted my files. :mad:

I’ll try to get it fixed soon. (That means sometime today)

I think they might not allow the fopen command… you may have to use it on your home machine, or find another free server you can do it on.

Your right, CFP doesn’t allow fopen…it’s stated in the FAQ.

Good luck trying to find another free server with PHP/MySQL. You’re better off running a server off of your own computer.

No flames on that statement please
