Problem when import from PHPBB2 to vBulletin

[Vipe07]

(they excuse my English badly).

Hello to all.

I have acquired vBulletin and I am new in these forums. I have
installed without problems vBulletin in my server, but I have
difficulty to transfer my forum PHPBB to vBulletin.

I have installed ImpEx and when attempt to transfer (import) the
PHPBB, gives an error message me:

-------------------------------------------------------
There seems to have been to problem with the database.

ImpEx Database errormysql error: Link-ID == false, connect failed

mysql error:

mysql error to number: 0

Date: Thursday 08th of February 2007 08:41:34 A.M.
Database: np000439_vbulletin
MySQL error:
---------------------------------------------------------

I have edited and verified all the data of ImpExConfig.php
according to the intrucciones of the documentation, and I do not know
where it is the error.

The data are:
Data base of PHPBB: np000439_foro1
Data base of vBulletin: np000439_vbulletin

Server:
Username: np000439
Password: <removed>

The ImpExConfig.php file I have edited to him of the
following form:

------------------------------------------------------------
# For mysqli enter mysql
$impexconfig['target']['databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['target']['server'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['target']['user'] = 'np000439';
$impexconfig['target']['password'] = '<removed>';
$impexconfig['target']['database'] = 'np000439_vbulletin';
$impexconfig['target']['tableprefix'] = '';


# If the system that is being imported from uses a database,
# enter the details for it here and set 'sourceexists' to true.
# If the source data is NOT stored in a database, set 'sourceexists' to false

$impexconfig['sourceexists'] = true;

# mysql / mssql
$impexconfig['source']['databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['source']['server'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['source']['user'] = 'np000439';
$impexconfig['source']['password'] = '<removed>';
$impexconfig['source']['database'] = 'np000439_foro1';
$impexconfig['source']['tableprefix'] = '';
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I was decided by vBulletin because it is a great system of
forums, and because it offered security to me to concern all the data
of my PHPBB without great losses.

My PHPBB is not a great forum, it has just a short time working and it
contains about 500 users (not all assets) and 7,500 messages. But I
would not like to lose the messages and data of my users.

Very I will be been thankful if somebody has the amiability to help me
to solve my problem. I have often reviewed the documentation and the
data of the forums and server, and I really do not know that it is
what I have done badly.

Thank you very much to all.

The only cause of the 'false, connect failed' error that I know of is that either the db info is wrong or the server is down.

Fill out a support ticket at:

Thank you very much by your help.

The server is OK: my forum PHPBB continuous working without problems.
I have confirmed again the information of the DB.

I will send support ticket.

Greetings.
