How do I convert UBB to VBB?

[lisamie]

Filbert, You were right, I ran out of disc space.

After contacting the server support, they told me there is a programm ( a junk file ) in my vb that is eating up my meg's. Yesterday in a matter of 2 minutes it ate up 35 megs. They "cleaned" it out, and brought me back down to a suitable space avail, and now, THe import page gives me nothing but an action cancelled. What am I missing that is leaving it not able to be displayed?

At one point I had the bbimport.php brining up the version 5 of the ubb, but that was it. So, i deleted the bbimport, and re-unzipped it, and re uploaded it, but this was after all my server problems. I can't get the import page to come up. Did I delete soemthign wrong from my server? I did take off my webalizer (was trying to free up space before I realized it was a program in my vb file that was going crazy), would that do it?

I really do appreciate all of your help. Any suggestions?

Are you running the import script from within the Admin CP?

[lisamie]

Yes, I am running it htere. Should it be somewhere else?

[Steve Machol]

Make sure you uploaded the correct import script (bbimport_ubb5.php for UBB 5.x or bbimport_ubb6.php for UBB 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2.) to the 'forums/importers' directory and that you uploaded in ASCII.

[lisamie]

You need to reupload bbimport.php in ASCII to your admin directory. For some reason it's missing.

I have tried this also but it just doesnt work.
I uploaded bbimport.php to the admin directory and then I uploaded bbimport_ubb6.php to the importers directory "both in ascll."
When I go into the cp I get this......
You do not currently have........
When I go to bb import systems.
Now what the crap?

[Steve Machol]

What do you mean by "You do not currently have........"? What is the complete message?

Also where did you place the 'importers' directory?

[Barret]

It said I had no scripts loaded.....
Also, I uploaded the importers folder to the main vbb folder where you see admins, mods, images, and etc. folders.
Also uploaded bbimport.php to the admin folder/directory.
I did it right, it just doesnt work.

[Steve Machol]

That sounds right. What permissions are on the 'importers' directory" Make sure they are at least 775.

[Barret]

I tried chmod 775 and 777 and neither worked.
Guess this just doesnt work at all.
I'll just do this the old way as this is too flawed to keep messing with and takes more time than doing it manually.
