How long.........

[Smitty]

Ok, I got yabbse going and was going to convert my gold 1.1 board over to yabbse, I ran the converter.php, entered in all the neccesary info it needed, it got to step 4 and was taking FOREVER to do whatever it was suppost to be doing. I waited like 10 to 15 minutes and finally X'd out of the browser.

My question is, how long should the conversion process take to convert everything over?

Just incase it matters, I'm a 56k user, and my gold 1.1 board has quite a bit of post and members on it.


Thanks in advance

how many posts and members do you have?
how fast is your server?

[Smitty]

So it is dependant of how many post, members right?

Currently, close to 1500 post.
And after deleting dead beat posters and users that havn't signed in for a long time, I have close to 200 members.

Don't know if it matters, but I also have 19 mods installed on my 1.1 board that has created a whole bunch of extra files in the folders.

if your server cant convert it, i can try to convert it for you
i'll need the ftp access and mysql info, just send me an IM

Thanks Spaceman for the generous offer, but I will evintually get it done, I'm hardheaded enogh that I will fool with it for a week straight before I give up on it

I was just curious if it is possible to take a long time for the converter to do it's deal, like I said, I waited 10-15 minutes and X'd out of it, could thqat be a pretty typical time for all the mods and stuff I have on the board?

Crap.......now I keep getting errors at step 3, says converter.php is in wrong directory. Doesn't the converter.php go in the same directory as the install.php did, which I have named "wincomm"?


Notice the "mysite.com in the code below, did that on purpose, didn't wanna give out too much info.
