I have an existing phpBB forums with members/comments. I have installed a fresh install of phpNuke. When I click on the forums I get a session error I presume because it has no data yet.
I want to copy over the members/comments to the Nuke install, I have now got the script. phpbb_nuke_conv.tar and understand how to set-up the config file for access and prefix's but for this script to work I need the phpBB tables inside the same database as the Nuke tables, and that is where Im stuck.
I'm new to SQL and phpMyAdmin, could someone please point me.
How do I add the tables from a phpBB2 SQL database to a phpNuke SQL database so both sets of tables reside in one?
Use phpMyAdmin and go to Operations for each table, copy them over to the other database. If you do not see such an option, another way is to Export the tables to a sql file and then Import them to one database.
Amazing, I'm gettin so confused doing this. It's only cause I havn't done it before.
Ok I have found the import but this has a file size limit to the import of 2,048k. My site is not the biggest in the world with a total SQL file size of 17 meg. I fear even if I export in single tables one of em aint gonna fit!
Any suggestions (I didn't want to but even if only the membership came over without the comments then that is at least a start as long as the phpbb_nuke_conv.tar will still work to merge them)
hey and thanks buddy for your time, this problem has taken me an age elsewhere and still no helpful responses.
This is the exact same error I had before I installed the tables, I have never had an empty forums show up in this Nuke installation even though the files are there in the modules folder, only this error. I presumed it was because I had not installed the SQL yet, now I thought I had, could you please explain,
When I select either forums (main), forums (from admin) or personal messages this error comes up, before or since table insertion.
Is there a config file I should have edited post Nuke installation that would have fired up the forums? I found no reference.
gone, figured, stuck, please prod with a cattle fork!
[edit- update]
I have just checked for membership on the Nuke site and membership is there.
Is it me or is this lot worth the effort, I was tossing around the idea of Jamoola, I went with Nuke because there are a lot of them.
I do not understand why there are so many installation versions, the phpNuke I installed was downloaded from here, why didn't it come with the latest phpBB, it doesn't make any sense not to have that on the server,
no critisism intended, I think this site is great, it's just that with all the versions it's such a maze to a newcomer with no guide to "hello, this is where to go and i recommend using this to start off with"
I appreciate all your advice so far, i shall continue
Mostly because FB, the creator of phpNuke, does not update his software in a timely fashion. Rather, good people such as chatserv need to continually update and patch it.
Until FB decides to put 2.0.21 into his next release, there isn't anything we can do.
Could you please list what to load from here so I do not install wrongly a second time. I suppose I'm gonna have to start from scratch again. My knowledge of SQL really isn't good enough to sort this problem out now, as the membership seems screwed also somehow (probably I used the wrong coversion script)
If this happens a second time I'm affraid I'm going to have scrap the whole idea.
put simply, I have a phpBB2.0.21 and want to start using Nuke instead.
My knowledge of php is sufficient to handle using the patches and alterations however my knowledge of SQL and phpMyAdmin is, well, Crap! and The manual might aswell be written in Klingon! I can back-up the SQL database and re load it should I need to do a backup/reinstall and thats about it.
phpNuke must be upgrade to BBToNuke 2.0.21.
From phpNuke 7.6, that includes 2.0.10. So you need to download and install:
BBToNuke 2.0.11, 2.0.12.... to 2.0.21
