    phpBB2 to VB3... Impex doesn't work

    I have a test server with VB3 "clean".

    VB3 works fine, I've imported all phpBB2 DB in the same VB3 server/DB (with "phpbb_" prefix) but Impex doesn't work.

    My ImpexConfig.php is this:
    PHP Code:
    ;vBulletin:Impex Config File<?php /*
    ;| #################################################################### |;
    ;| # vBulletin  - Licence Number <taken out>

    ;| #################################################################### |;

    [ Target Database ]
    ; The following settings allow ImpEx to connect to the vBulletin 3
    ; database into which you will be importing data.
    ;
    ; If impex is installed in vBulletin you can ignore the target details
    ; as includes/config.php

    targetdatabasetype  = mysql
    targetserver        = localhost
    targetuser          = "forum"
    targetpassword      = "PASSWORD"
    targetdatabase      = forum
    targettableprefix   =

    [ Source Database ]
    ; 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

    sourceexists        = false

    ; mysql OR mssql
    sourcedatabasetype  = mysql
    sourceserver        = localhost
    sourceuser          = "forum"
    sourcepassword      = "PASSWORD"
    sourcedatabase      = forum
    sourcetableprefix   = phpbb_

    ;| #################################################################### |;
    ;| # File ends with closing PHP tag...                                # |;
    ;| #################################################################### |;
    ;*/ 
    ?>
    Impex doesn't show errors... only a blank page.
    What I have to do?

    Thanks.

    Start with :

    sourceexists = true

    and have a read of this as it will cover 99% of the process :

    I wrote ImpEx.

      Maybe you should remove your license number from the post. Just as side note.

        This was my fault. I tried also with sourceexists = true but I have the same problem.

        Always "blank" screen.

        I read your post and help guide in vbulletin.com site.

          In the impex/systems folders delete all the folders apart from the phpBB2 one.

          What version of PHP are you running and on what OS ?

                Ok, can you start a support ticket in your members area and will look at the sever for you.
