PHPbb inport, not going well at all.

[SouthDevonFishing]

I am currently trying to import the data from my PHPbb install. I so far have made the old forum inaccessible with a error message and cant get past the configure importer stage. Instant disaster to be honest.

MySQL Server. I have to use anglingukorg.fatcowmysql.com as localhost does nothing.
My SQL port. I have no idea.
My SQL username. Is it the same one I used to upload XF?
Password. Think I have that one.
My SQL Database Name. The name for the folder in My SQL for the phpbb install?
Table Prefix. No idea.

Can anyone help me past this stage please?

Didn't you create all of the forums already? I'm not sure if that matters or not.

Yeah that matters.

I think that's the problem then. In an earlier thread I remember seeing the test board, and all of the nodes had already been created.

Excellent. It all worked, just have to re-do all the little bits I did which is no bother. Thanks a lot, you have been the saviour of my mind, and marriage!

Thank you everyone for your help. Once I followed Jake's instruction for deleting the info from the board and doing a re-install, it all went like clockwork.
Just a note for anyone else using Fatcow for a host and PHPbb for a platform, you need to get your [Custom Avatar Path] and [Attachment Path] from the server information folder on the Website control panel of Fatcow. It is the first line of text when you open the folder and is called 'Document Root'. Copy and pate that into both of the required fields and it will go smoothly!
