XF 2.1 Failed to connect to phpbb database source

[canina]

I am interested in importing data from PHPBB using the importer
For some reason in the import service I have fields that I have no idea what to enter in these fields, (since they are originally in the PHPBB forum and there is no such data there?)

These are the fields surrounded by red.
Thank you.

The data is in the phpBB config file on the server, or you can determine the path by looking at the directory structure.

That's what I have there

$dbms = 'phpbb\\db\\driver\\mysqli';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = '*****_phpbb';
$dbuser = '*****_phpbb';
$dbpasswd = '***';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$phpbb_adm_relative_path = 'adm/';
$acm_type = 'phpbb\\cache\\driver\\file';

What do I enter in the values of 'Data directory' and 'Internal data directory'

It's been a long time since I used phpBB but the two paths should equate to where the avatars and attachments are stored, respectively.

Doh!

Shouldn't use my phone ... make sure you select the phpBB importer.

That is the XF importer.

Can you direct me where to download?
Because I only saw one importer, which I downloaded from the customer area, and that's what he gave me..

I've just noticed you're running 2.1.

You will need to upgrade to 2.2 to have access to the phpBB importer.

Either that or use the XF1 importer into an XF1 installation, upgrade it to XF2, then import that into your site.
