I'm new to Drupal and am trying to do a massive conversion.
I've converted from YaBB2 -> SMF -> phpBB2 and am now trying to do the final conversion to Drupal.

Everything looks ok, except that I can't the location of the phpBB2 data. the only option I have is "phpBB2 is on the same database as Drupal"

Am I supposed to import the database phpBB2 data? Or install Drupal to the phpBB2 data?? or make a new database and install both to it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in Advance

Untick that box, save the page and then new fields will appear to enter the location of the database.

mmm. looks like i typed the wrong info it.
i got an error page telling me that the it couldn't connect to the database.
and i saw that the username is wrong.

the rest of my forum is ok, but i can't get back to the phpbb2drupal configurations

----EDIT-----
never mind, fixed it by going to admin/phpbb2drupal/reset

hey. so i've gotten past all the problems i had before. thanks for the tips.
i still can:t seem to get the migration done though. i keep getting an internal server error.
always gets stuck on users. i check my users and it seems most of them have been transfered, but not all.

any ideas?
