    Do you have any mods installed on your phpBB that you are trying to convert?

     

    Have you tried the SMF forums for help?

     

    The only mods I have are to the themes, not the data itself.

     

    Yeah I have posted at the SMF forum too. but that was before I figured out the password problem. I will go back there and see if they have any ideas.

    Ok, maybe it wasn't encrypted. i used the password from the SMF setting file. it gave me a different error.

     

     

    Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of phpBB2. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

     

    The error MySQL gave was: SELECT command denied to user 'myname_smf1'@'localhost' for table 'phpbb_users'

    You should be able to find the user/password for your database in the config file for phpBB. The DB password is usually different than the one you set for the admin user.

     

    It says I need the password for the SMF database

    Hi,

     

    The username and password is the one you created for it in cpanel, and added as a user to that database. Have you tried that one

     

    When I created the forum through Fantastico it created the database. It did ask for a password then and I used that password. I also tried my regular admin password.

    Forgive me if this is already answered somewhere else. And forgive me if I should have asked in a different section.

     

     

    I am trying to convert my phpBB2 forum to SMF.

     

    I already have a phpbb2 forum active. I created an SMF forum under the same domain. I downloaded the converter from SMF. When I go to run the converter it asks for my password to the SMF database. I entered all the passwords I would have possibly used and it keeps saying wrong password.

     

    My question is this? Does TC give the database a different password? How do I find the password of my database? My admin password doesn't work.

    Thanks for the response Jim.

     

    I found this article last night, http://www.elixirsystems.com/seo_tips/avoi...ent-penalty.php

     

    They recommend using an online app, http://www.copyscape.com/ to see who's stealing content. It works gloriously.

     

    After running copyscape, I noticed that there is a lot of my site's content that hasb been indeed hijacked. Looks like I need to rewrite my content as there are too many sites that have hijacked content from several pages from within my site.

     

    Thanks for the link. Turns out several sites copied my entire front page when they added my website as a link. So I did some re-writing.

    Here is an update which I find rather hilarious.....

     

    The German guy who has been linking to my website and I finally got blocked has emailed me 2 threatening letters.

     

    I have many links on my opening page and ONE links to a different website called Hall of Shame where this guy is now posted and he is also threatening me for "linking" to it    gee how ironic.

     

    He is in Germany which leads me to believe there is little one can do for threats

     

     

    Cool!!!!

    Linking To Your Website

    Add the following to the .htaccess file in your public_html directory:

    >RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} bad-domain.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* alt-file.html

    If a visitor comes to your site by clicking a link on the 'bad-domain.com' site (so the domain name appears somewhere in the referer string), then the visitor will be redirected to alt-file.html (in your public_html directory), no matter what page the link was trying to go to.

     

    Replace 'bad-domain.com' with the actual domain name, create an alternate page to display and upload it to your public_html directory, and whatever name you use for the alternate page, replace 'alt-file.html' with the name of that page.

     

    I know someone who used this technique and redirected the people to a I AM A SPAMMER site.

    My message board is phpbb.

     

    And I updated it to the newest version soon as the announcement was made here a bit back about older versions of the board. I guess I just get a little nervous sometimes.

     

    I don't think I have to worry about it because there's only about four or five out of almost 600 members who are having trouble seeing the smilies and images sometimes.

     

    Could it be possible that they are using Firefox? Firefox has an ad blocker extension available. If they clicked the "adblocker" on a main image it may also block other images.
