Have you unlocked the forum prior to running the conversion script?



No, I had not unlocked the forum since I was doing it via the web. According to my understanding of the instructions included with ipb.php, unlocking was only needed if running the conversion script from the shell. It turned out that the problem was that I had included double quotes in the off-line comment "$DISABLED_REASON" before I turned FUDforum off. As I had stated before "How do I re-enable FUDforum? I now get a blank screen when I visit www.dma.org/fud/ - no error message, and no login screen." Changing the double quotes to single quotes solved the problem. I was able to run ipb.php which imported the users and forums from our Invision Power Board forum (but not the messages in the forums), and I was subsequently able to login to our FUD forum. There was one error displayed when I ran the script. The script output was:
Importing blocked words
Done: Importing 0 blocked words
Importing forum members
Done: Importing 27 IPB members
Importing buddies/ignored users
Done: Importing 0 buddies and 0 ignored users
Importing member ranks

Importing permissions
(db.inc) 1054: Unknown column 'up_file' in 'where clause'
Query: SELECT id FROM fud25_groups WHERE forum_id=up_file
Server Version: 3.23.56

Can you suggest why it failed here and what I might be able to do to fix it? I'm rather a novice at both php and MySQL, but I can see that it should have continued to import administrators and the messages and topics from our IPB forum had it not encountered this error.

Thanks for your help.
