XF 1.5 Upgrading phpBB to XF1.5 - problem with attachment and avatars directories

[Alan_SP]

I'm upgrading phpBB 3.1.7 to XF1.5 with official importing script, but the problem is with importing avatars and attachments, I receive this message:

Error

• The attachments directory could not be found.
• The avatars directory could not be found.

Suggested paths are:

Custom Avatar Path: images/avatars/upload/
Attachment Path: files/

And that is where it is, but phpBB isn't in the same directory as xenforo installation. Actual paths are (from public_html):

Custom Avatar Path: public_html/forum/images/avatars/upload/
Attachments: public_html/forum/files/

Xenforo installation is in: public_html/xenforotest/

I even tried to use path from beginning, but no luck, always directories couldn't be found. What should I do to get this working?

Navigate to /admin.php?tools/phpinfo and search for DOCUMENT_ROOT to get the absolute path of your XF installation.

From there you can determine the absolute path for your phpBB installation.

Entering the absolute path should work.

Thanks for your help.

After you said that, I took better look and noticed that I made stupid typing error (I can path to its root, but obviously, I also can make some very, very stupid errors typing them back).

Anyway, now it works, when you use absolute (and correct at that) path. Thank you again, you helped me very much.
