I am trying to import from my phpbb database to vbulletin, and I got the following when I clicked the "check and update database" module:



Altering tables
ImpEx will now Alter the tables in the vB database to include import id numbers.

This is needed during the import process for maintaining refrences between the tables during an import.If you have large tables (i.e. lots of posts) this can take some time.

They will also be left after the import if you need to link back to the origional phpBB userid.

and doing the "associate user" module produced the following:


Database error in vBulletin:ImpEx Source 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT user_id,username
FROM users
ORDER BY user_id
LIMIT 0,25
mysql error: Table 'tempphpbb.users' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146


and pressing "refresh" would just show the following:


Database cleanup & restart ||| Online manual

could anyone please offer any help? I am pretty ignorant about php and all that I'm afraid.

thanks.

Thanks - I noted the following in another thread:


I have read the following response to another thread



I am trying to import vB 3.07 to vB 3.07 should I have upgraded to vB 3.08?

Thanks

My vB is still 3.0.3 which I bought vB long time ago, didn't use it as we went ahead with all the mods with phpbb. Now we've decided to move to vB afterall. But my licence has expired since 3.0.3. Could this be the problem? anyway.

No the issue is that you have not set :

sourcetableprefix = phpbb_

in ImpExConfig, that is why they were all red on the 001 Check and update database module.
