XF 2.1 Phpbb on php 5.6.

[Jkay]

Hi everyone, I have to migrate a phpbb version 3.0.12 (old) running on a server with php 5.6.

What procedure do you recommend?
Migrate to xenforo (latest version) immediately using php 5.6?

Thank you.

Import to 1.5, afterwards upgrade to 2.1.

Personally I'd keep PHP 5.6 and phpBB for some time after the import so you can still access the old pphpBB in case you need to.

I don't know which OS/Distribution you are renning, but usually you can rund multiple PHP versions on the same server.

someone is kind enough to tell me the rewrite rule for nginx
From this structure (phpbb not seo)

to Xenforo (friendly URLs)

Thank you very much.
