Messed up converting

[Deleted member 5665]

I ended up having to reconvert my mybb forum into smf I am using a smf preview if I will convert or not. 🙂

SMF preview: http://runelight.com/smf/

I need to convert I got the location right and the password for the convert.php on my mybb forum but it won't convert! 🙁

Problem:

Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of SMF cannot access the installation of MyBulletinBoard 1.4. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.

The error MySQL gave was: SELECT command denied to user 'rune_smf'@'localhost' for table 'mybb_users'

what am I doing wrong? 😕 I did it once on wampservers but I can't do it now..?

Does that account have all privileges for the database? Go to your databases tab in cPanel and click on the user.

Yah it does I double checked.

I would create a new account to see if that helps. And change it in Mybb options, maybe the mysql account just got messed up along the line.

If all else fails, I would check individual permission settings for the mybb_users field

Well what do you mean in my mybb options? Could it be because I have custom usergroups? 😕 or my user permissions are different from smf?

 

[Justin]

I mean add a new user to the mybb database inside cpanel and mysql. Add all permissions and then go to the Mybb ACP and there should be a field in the ACP in some tab to change database names and users. There you would change the database user.

I still don't get what the problem is 🙁 I tested it on wamp and it worked out. 😵

But it won't work now 🙁

Did you check SMF's community forum? They'll be glad to help you.

I suggest asking on the smf forum. They have had this problem alot with mybb and get it fixed for people easy.
