I just attempted to import a phpbb database with 37895 messages. It ran overnight and in the morning about 6500 of the posts were imported.

Should I be looking for other issues? Is there somewhere I can check a log to see if there was an error?

Thanks for any help.

That is way too long - afaik something like that should take about 10 minutes (but this can vary depending on what encoding you started off from).

I would think you may not have had enough php memory and after the first 6500, it may have times out or something.

Also, not sure but there may be some more big fixes in the 1.x-dev release compared to 1.4... nothing major but if you have issues, you may want to try that to import data.

Thanks for the ideas, we are going to try to increase the memory tonight and give it another go.

We tried it on a different (apache) server and it worked perfectly. I will be going with an apache for other reasons now so this will work well for us. Thanks for your help.
