When using "phpBB2Drupal Settings -> Location of phpBB2 data" I found out that all tables mentioned there are always prefixed with "drupal_" (or whatever is used as a table prefix for Drupal).

My settings (but I think they does not matter):
phpbb is on the same database as drupal - no
phpBB2 database location - xxx something ;)
phpBB2 table prefix - phpbb_

I have made myself a little var_dump() in includes/database.mysqli.inc:110

echo '

';
  var_dump($query);
  echo '

';

With result:
string(42) "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'drupal_phpbb_categories'"
string(38) "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'drupal_phpbb_forums'"
string(37) "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'drupal_phpbb_posts'"
string(42) "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'drupal_phpbb_posts_text'"
string(38) "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'drupal_phpbb_topics'"
string(37) "SHOW TABLES LIKE 'drupal_phpbb_users'"

My drupal database layout is prefixed with "drupal_".

I will have a look into this later on today, but if you beat me to it, can you try the same database by unchecking the same database option box and putting in/comparing the database details?

The problem is that I have changed the table checking to use the drupal internal db_table_exists function... which adds the default drupal prefix to the table checks and in your case that is "drupal_". (this only happened in checking for tables and not in actual drupal import - but safeguards would not let you get that far anyway...)

I thought I was being clever by replacing the table check code with an internal drupal function.

Should be fixed in the next nightly.

Yes, that works, thanks. Now I have other errors to fix ;)
