Hi

I have imported my phpbb forum to VB. Here are few issues:

1) All posts (110,000) and threads seem to import properly through impex but nothing is showing up on VB.

2) Users have been imported and I can see them through admin panel but when I try to log-in with my username from phpbb, it shows I have been banned. Besides the statsistics on bottom of page show 0 users.

Please guide me.

Cheers

Did you do the cleanup/rebuild counters steps? Until you do so, nothing will show up.


2) Users have been imported and I can see them through admin panel but when I try to log-in with my username from phpbb, it shows I have been banned.
By default, ImpEx creates new usergroups for the users you had on your phpBB forum. You'll see "Imported Registered" or something like that. By default, these users are set as Banned Usergroups. You will need to go into each group and turn off "This is a Banned Usergroup". Alternately you can just delete these temporary imported usergroups and all the users will be moved into the vBulletin default Registered usergroup which does not have that problem.

You should not worry about logging in as your old phpBB admin account until after you are completely satisfied with the import and everything is working well. Note it is a very bad idea to MERGE users specifically your admin account on vB with your admin account on phpBB until you are COMPLETELY finished with the import. Once you merge users, you cannot go back. Once you merge, if you ever want to import again, you must completely blow away everything you imported (users, posts, private messages, attachments, EVERYTHING) and delete all users but the admin account. Learned this the hard way.


Besides the statsistics on bottom of page show 0 users.
You have not done the maintenance / update counters steps yet.

Your webhost is blocking you from making any more MySQL connections. Some webhosts have MySQL set to a low number of connections. There's no security or performance reason to limit the number of connections that low.
