Currently my board is a php board with IMPortal installed.
I created a test bed and installed IntegraMod and brought in my IMPortal database but that didn't work. I didn't think it would be that easy, but figured I'd try. So I need to know the best way to migrate from my IMPortal site to the full blown version of IntegraMod.

I asked that question a while ago.
and as long as I stuck on php4 it was excellent

good luck and take your time
if you have any mods already installed you may want to remove them before you install. Despite the advice I did leave IMportal installed and the only thing I have to do after was activate qbar and remove the custom menu I had made for importal

Ok, I've finally found the time to test this out.

I'm using my box to test it with the xampp. I've got my forum up and running with the xampp, but now I run into a problem when I attempt to use the update files.

When I attempt to run the update1.php file I login and then when it does the redirect I receive the following message

[code]Object not found!  The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.  If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.Error 404localhost12/07/06 14]

you have update1.php in the root of your forum directory correct?

Well I figured out that after the login that it then tries to go to /db_update.php?&sid=xxx so I manually changed it to /db_update1.php?&sig=xxx and it ran. Although when I did the "Goto Step 2" it took me back to the login screen again and then back to /db_update.php?&sid=xxx, so I had to change it to /db_update2.php?&sid=xxx, etc..

It all when fine until I got to step 5. Once I go there I entered in the info into the three fields and clicked submit only to have it tell me...
Un-Authorized

Sorry, you do not have permission to run scripts here.


So is there a way to fix that, or can those be added manually into the correct tables. If they can be added manually how do I do it (just started messing around with changing the SQL stuff).

Yes, the path to the file was http://localhost/forum/db_update1.php

Ok, so forget the above posts, I got around the authentication issue by removing the authentication check in the script. The script then completed fine.

So now it seems I am running IM 1.4.0, sweet...that is until I go into the forum and notice that it is empty, no topics, no threads, no posts...nothing, completely empty.

EDIT: N/M..I enabled the Qbar and it now seems to be working fine.

THANKS!!!

If anyone is interested, phpBB(from original version to 2.0.21), IM1.3.2 and IM1.4.0 will all be upgradeable to IM1.4.1. Just so that everyone is clear and people aren't rushing to update their sites to 1.4.0 or the latest phpBB because they think it has to be updated before updating to 1.4.1. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.

Ok cool, I was hoping that was the case as I've been waiting on IM 1.4.1, but it seemed easier to go ahead and at least test the upgrade from IMPortal now just to make sure it does work and iron out what problems I might run into when I update my live server.

Thanks for verifying that for me.
