Yet another problem with converter

[TuomoL]

Hi,

I'm new with YaBB SE. I tried to convert the copy of my existing YaBB 1 Gold, and everything seemed to work fine. > ADDED: I got only one error message during the installation, and that was about reserved names. < The problem is with the topics which are now kind of lost.

On the database there is the right number of topics, but it's missing data -> ID_MEMBER_STARTED  ID_MEMBER_UPDATED  ID_FIRST_MSG  ID_LAST_MSG  are all 0.

All the old messages are converted right in to the database...

And fixing the topics and areas give me the error:

Topic 1 has a bad first message 0
Topic 1 has a bad last message 0
Topic 2 has a bad first message 0
Topic 2 has a bad last message 0
Topic 3 has a bad first message 0
Topic 3 has a bad last message 0
...
...
...
Topic 2053 has a bad first message 0
Topic 2053 has a bad last message 0

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /www/domains/fin-tuning.phnet.fi/public_html/ftbb/Sources/RepairBoards.php on line 124
 

So I don't quite understand where the problem is...

Can anyone help me?

The Yabb SE I installed is the ver 1.3.0.

After hours of manual work and with few tricks I finally managed to get the conversion work allmost alright.

For some reason I couldn't convert my old Yabb 1 Gold to 1.4.1 or 1.4.0 version, but finally it worked with bugfixed 1.3.0.

Now the only problem is with the cookie, which doesn't work. Even if you mark - Remember me - box, it will not work. So where could the problem be now?

I checked the cookie. It's stored ok to the computer, but somehow it just doesn't work.

Help me, please.

The Yabb SE I installed is the ver 1.3.0.

I just joined the group and converted a YaBB board - large, had the same problem.

PATCH:

in module RepairBoards.php

find
//Make sure the user is an admin
is_admin();

//Added to allow larger forums to be repaired without timing out - JHS
set_time_limit(0);

That is the same trick that the converter.php uses.
