Hello,

I found this thread since I was getting the "This script must be placed in FUDforum's main web directory." warning as well.

When I implemented the suggestion:

Quote:

Try to remove the
<?php
if ($gl === FALSE) {
exit("This script must be placed in FUDforum's main web directory.\n");
}
?>

And see if the conversion process runs.

I get this far:

Quote:

Failed to connect to database containing phpBB2 settings using MySQL information inside 'http://www.dominical.biz/forum/config.php'.

So then I implemented Ryo's instructions:

Quote:

I went to the shell and chown the script by myself. And also i had to chown the whole phpbb2-directory, even while it worked with no problem.

After this everything worked fine. Only a few Users and their posts are lost, but everything else works great now.

I'm not sure that I'm understanding the language here, but I went to the phpBB directory and chmoded it to 777, plus I 777'd the conversion script, but still get that warning about failing to connect to the database.

Any thoughts?

Ben
