tmnt99au Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 Does anyone has a step-by-step guide of how to transfer xmbforum (1.6) to phpbb forum here? I just relocated to *****, and would like to move my old forum. I looked at some postings at phpbb.com but it was extremely confusing. Quote
Ayman_ Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 You are looking at installing phpbb and then uploading all the content from your old forums to the new? Quote
Dajo77 Posted November 25, 2002 Posted November 25, 2002 I would just download a converter at http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php .. there should be some sort of readme. If it still doesn't make sense, put up a post on phpbb's forums, i'm sure one of them would know a lot more on how to do this and be more then happy to give you a hand. Quote
tmnt99au Posted November 25, 2002 Author Posted November 25, 2002 I need to know from "scratch" i.e. what files I need to backup etc. and how to? I gave it a go yesterday but did not work at all Quote
Ice Posted December 5, 2002 Posted December 5, 2002 As far as conversion, Here is a link to a topic about a converter recently developed by the phpBB team. It's kind of hidden in obscurity, heh. As for the basics.... PHPBB User's Guide. This is a great resource. FAQ's for after you install. PHPBB's discussion forum. This is a great resource as well. However, the most valuable, step by step resource you need is probably on your harddrive now. Look at c:/~your_location/phpBB/docs/INSTALL.html in the /docs folder of the phpBB folder you extracted to (if you used the extractable). It details which files need to be uploaded in binary or ascii, what the permissions should be set at for the files and what security precautions to take. If nothing else, read that much. It is also a good idea to look over the README.html and the FAQ.html located in the same folder. Good luck! Ice Quote
