Mybb 1.6.10 to Xenforo

[neil1]

ok guys/gals, If this has been asked before please excuse my arrogance, I have a forum with over 4,228 posts in 542 threads.

My question is does this forum come with a converter from Mybb to Xenforo and how easy is it. I.E will i need to convert to other platforms before this forum ect ect

I actually copied my upload folder to the root of the XF install, it gets to around 50% then gets a fatal error.

Instead of copying try it the way the importer is designed to use it... point it at the actual path to your old forum upload directory and see if that works.

Very nice guys, Hope everything else has gone smoothly, hopefully i will be able to get this forum in the next month!!

Just to note there was nothing wrong with the plan I had - it was my disc and memory that was causing the issues - basically I am changing to a new host (which I have been meaning to do for a while anyway) and then I should easily be able to complete the import.

From what I see the conversion process is very easy. I'll post again once I have managed to do it properly and let you know the steps I followed.

@Tracy Perry - the reason why I did that is that my testsite is under a completely separate area, under its own cPanel account. I wasn't sure if it would work like that so I just put the file there and will delete after. When I do actually go live though, then it will be a different matter.
