OK, i got my VB into phpbb.

I then made a backup of the new converted bb sql and proceeded to restore it in my nuke site. Not working.

Please help. i even installed phpbb2.0.6 for the conversion as thats my nuke's phpbb version, but still a no go.

It sounds like it's timing out. Assuming that to be the case, you will need to use the instructions from this post of yours http://www.ravenphpscripts.com/posts2481-highlight.html

but in nuke you can only upload a sql backup.

i tried bigdump on the DB that its set to, and runs succesfully. But nuke dosnt change, from its current state

Then you haven't set it up corectly. Unless you are using a drop table statement, the tables are probably not being replaced.

im pretty certain its setup right.

i can PM you the info if you got time.

Im at a loss...

What I mean is, if nuke isn't changing then the big dump isn't overlaying the tables. If I were you I would try the other route - copy and paste 5000 lines at a time.

Get a good editor like textpad. It's shareware but it doesn't expire.

im also confused with this. are the phpbb defiens in nuke nuke_ ?? cause i was thinking doing a find and replace all, of phpbb_ to nuke_. would that work? or will that crash nuke, as i assume it would..

I need somone who is really good with MySQL and some free time to contact me ASAP.

My AIM = Typica1Cat

Long story short, you can login fine in the phpbb forums using the converted vb, but when i uploaded the users into the nuke site, noone of the passwords work.

It is very important that a solution be found.

Thanks
