How long does the conversion take?

[Chuki]

I'm in the middle of doing a conversion, and so far its taken about 20min.

All I have is the browers window up its on step 4. The status bar on the browser is about 1/2 way.

Just curious how long this process takes.

[David]

Depends on the size of the baord.

[Chuki]

I'm still converting away

350 members,
10000 messages
2500 threads

sure hogging my system resources, my page file is up over 800 megs of usuage

Also im on step 4, which I presume is the actually conversion process.

But this going on almost 2 and half hours now.

[Chuki]

Somebody? Its still converting, and my system resources are about used up.

My pagefile use at about 1.5 gigs, and my cpu is holding steady at about 60%...

Is this gonna be done soon? Or is something wrong? Or what? This is really killing my system.

[Jeff Lewis]

Kill the process. Make absolute sure you have it working. Press stop in the browser and see if any errors come up.

Restart the process and MAKE SURE you have the paths correct.

here we go, I got about ohhhhhh.... alot of this... If I had to guess I would say around a million..

Hehe I figured It is not the right path to the old forum.

Make SURE you have the right path of the old forum you're converting and to be safe, chmod it wide open 777.

Also on step 3 I get this

Looks like either the path is wrong or the world wide read permissions to that path are missing.

[Chuki]

Thanks I got it!!!

My board isn't installed in the cgi-bin, other then that it had the directory right... Grrr. I could kick myself in the rear right now.

My poor computer I can only imagine how many of them things I had loaded into memory, I swear my pagefile before I killed was coming close to 2000 megs.

I'm done with the conversion, took about 3 minutes...

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it!

[Chuki]

I had a members group, and boards assigned to only the members group, and now I don't see the boards...

Any idea what might have happend?

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe that is much better Make sure the processes are killed and not bringing down your poor computer

[Chuki]

Already done did, I had to restart the poor baby, I was paranoid it was gonna shutdown on me... My computer is massively o/c'd and my memory is overclocked to 194fsb or 392DDR... Good stress tester..

I also found my missing boards, they were at the bottom, they were usually at the top..

The response is awesome! Thanks again!
