Importing phpBB into Vanilla Forums (localhost)?

edited April 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

Hey! Is it possible to test importing phpbb into Vanilla forums, when my Vanilla Forum is installed on localhost (using wamp)?

I tried, it and I got "Bonk". Do I just have to believe that importing will work?

    Do you know what you need to do when you get a 'Bonk' error?

    This gets asked a lot.

    A search for 'bonk error message' will show you how to get full error messages.

    Hmm... I did this:

    whu606 said:
    In your Vanilla/conf folder find config.php and add this line:

    $Configuration['Garden']['Debug'] = TRUE;

    This will give you a detailed error, rather than the bonk page.

    Either post the error result here, or post a new question if you can't see how to fix it.

    But I'm still getting "Bonk"

    $Configuration['Garden']['Debug'] = TRUE;

    Depends on the version of Vanilla

    I installed it to my "real" server and importing worked fine.

    @dzagro. Seem like there a lot of you PHPbb users looking to come to Vanilla. That's great. To find out how to do an import, I would start with the "documentation", you can find that at the top of the page. Or you can read this thread:

    http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/23966/from-phpbb-to-vanilla-queries-before-taking-the-next-step#latest

    That shows another user doing the same thing. In the future, you should start a separate topic for a new question and only after you have done some research. We are a friendly bunch here, but it's expected that you do a bit of research before asking a question first :)

    Have fun in exploring Vanilla. I'm sure you be pleasantly surprised.

    this

    handles some, not all phpBB quirks. It also has regexp replacement.

    grep is your friend.
