    Importing phpbb2 posts

    Hi everyone.

    I'm importing from phpbb2 > vbulletin 3.6.5 using impex.

    I've followed all the instructions to the letter and the import went smoothly up to the point where it came to importing posts - at which point the impex screen stays blank (no data scrolls down like the other screens did).

    I have 500,000 posts on the old site.

    Can you please give my some pointers on what the problem is.

    Very likely going to be memory.

    How many posts per page are you processing (or were trying to) ?

    Hi Jerry.

    I didn't change any settings, I used the default. I guess it was the same as I used for threads - which I presume was 2000?

    Is this where I'm going wrong?

    [Edit: Reduced it to 500 and it's ticking along nicely.]

    Many thanks for your pointer Jerry.

    That going to take quite a while with that many posts, try raising your PHP memory limit if you can.

    I'm updating the phpBB2 importer for memory usage at the moment.
