I was setting up a test server for a friend, basically she wanted to switch from phpBB to SMF without bringing all the crap... so I just ended up creating a new installation of phpBB2 on the test server, but only moved the user data and rank data from the primary sites database to the new one, so when it converted it only brought the user data.
Anyways, it seemed to convert fine, the users moved over smoothly. So I was gonna install TP 0.983 on the test server smf install, and I get this error:
# Upshrink table created
# Settings table created
2: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource
File: /home/content/j/y/n/jynxter/html/smf/Packages/temp/tp_install.php
Line: 169Database Error: MySQL server has gone away
File: /home/content/j/y/n/jynxter/html/smf/Sources/Load.php
Line: 2005
Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0
Heres the catch - the phpbb data was on a mysql 4.0 based server, whereas this test server runs a 5.0
I don't know if it makes any difference. No other application is constantly accessing that database, other than phpbb... I'll try uninstalling it right now to see if that fixes it - if not, then Ill post again.
Anyways, any help is appreciated. Thanks fellas
Looks like nuking phpBB off the database didn't do too much. :/ I'll try playing around with some configurations. Unless there is a bug in the code, which somehow I doubt since a few weeks ago I installed TP .98 on SMF 1.1.2 on a SQL 4.0 server without issues...
You have to download the SMF BIG upgrade package and extract it on your local PC, then take out the upgrade.php and the 2 SQL files and upload them to the folder where you have your forum installed.
Point the browser to the upgrade.php file and let it update all the content in the DB.
> Then try and install again.
I am still getting the same error after i re-upgraded the smf tables in the database. It keeps responding with the same error, and then loses connection to the server...
