Latest commit. Once completed, your board should be immediately available. If you encountered errors, you should report the problems to our bug tracker or seek help via our forums see README for details. After a successful conversion, there may be a few items you need to do - apart from checking if the installation is accessible and everything displayed correctly. The first thing you may want to do is to go to the administration control panel and check every configuration item within the general tab.

You also may want to access the other administrative sections, e. During the conversion, the search index is not created or transferred. This means after conversion you are not able to find any matches if you want to search for something. After verifying the settings in the ACP, you can delete the install directory to enable the board. The board will stay disabled until you do so.

Once you are pleased with your new installation, you may want to give it the name of your old installation, changing the directory name. With phpBB3 this is possible without any problems, but you may still want to check your cookie settings within the administration panel; in case your cookie path needs to be adjusted prior to renaming.

Edit that file to match the database's encoding and re-start the conversion procedure. Restrictions imposed by some server hosting providers can cause problems. Limits on the allowed CPU time are also a frequent cause for such errors, as are limits on the number of database queries allowed. If you cannot change such settings, then contact your hosting provider or run the conversion procedure on a different computer.

The phpBB. Password conversion Due to the utf-8 based handling of passwords in phpBB3, it is not always possible to transfer all passwords.

For passwords "lost in translation" the easiest workaround is to use the I forgot my password link on the login page. Path to your former board The convertor expects the relative path to your old board's files. Note that the webserver user must be able to access the source installation's files. Missing images If your default board language's language pack does not include all images, then some images might be missing in your installation.

Always use a complete language pack as default language. Smilies During the conversion you might see warnings about image files where the copying failed. This can happen if the old board's smilies have the same file names as those on the new board. Copy those files manually after the conversion, if you want to continue using the old smilies. Leaving the install directory in place is a very serious potential security issue which may lead to deletion or alteration of files, etc. Please note that until this directory is removed, phpBB will not operate and a warning message will be displayed.

With these directories deleted, you should proceed to the administration panel. Depending on how the installation completed, you may have been directed there automatically. Ensure that details specified on the General tab are correct! Two of these options allow users to upload an avatar from their machine or a remote location via a URL.

You must also ensure this directory can be written to by the webserver. Usually this means you have to alter its permissions to allow anyone to read and write to it. Exactly how you should do this depends on your FTP client or server operating system. This can be done from a command line on your server using chmod or via your FTP client using the Change Permissions, chmod or other Permissions dialog box, see your FTP client's documentation for help.

You need to tick all of these boxes to set correct permissions. On Windows systems, you need to ensure the directory is not write-protected and that it has global write permissions see your server's documentation or contact your hosting provider if you are unsure on how to achieve this.

Please be aware that setting a directory's permissions to global write access is a potential security issue. While it is unlikely that anything nasty will occur such as all the avatars being deleted there are always people out there to cause trouble. Therefore you should monitor this directory and if possible make regular backups. This is to prevent users from accessing sensitive files.

For Apache there are. We do however recommend to completely deny all access to the aforementioned folders and their respective subfolders in your Apache configuration. On Apache 2. Please note that there are differences in syntax between Apache version 2. For Windows based servers using IIS there are web.

For other webservers, you will have to adjust the configuration yourself. Like any online site that allows user input, your board could be subject to unwanted posts; often referred to as forum spam.
