The convertor worked smoothly (altho my forum isn't working anymore now, no clue why). There was one major tweak I had to add for usernames with -'- in it, though (somehow you always end up with bastard who want to have fancy names )

The changed file is added below for those in need as well

Is there a way to convert from phpBB to FB if the tables of Joomla and phpBB are not in the same database?

definitely check if your query is correct.. and umm.. try googling "MySQL client ran out of memory". It seems to be a common problem w/ db's in general and it appears that there's some solutions you can look into. :]

Thanks.for the answer.

The query is correct it must be something about my phpBB forum because I have more than 3000 users and at moment 117865 messages so maybe the result of this query is to large..

I googled like you said and I found this...but I cant seem to understand...

B.1.2.7. Out of memory

If you issue a query using the mysql client program and receive an error like the following one, it means that mysql does not have enough memory to store the entire query result:

mysql: Out of memory at line 42, 'malloc.c'
mysql: needed 8136 byte (8k), memory in use: 12481367 bytes (12189k)
ERROR 2008: MySQL client ran out of memory

To remedy the problem, first check whether your query is correct. Is it reasonable that it should return so many rows? If not, correct the query and try again. Otherwise, you can invoke mysql with the --quick option. This causes it to use the mysql_use_result() C API function to retrieve the result set, which places less of a load on the client (but more on the server).

Please?

Im no system admin..

I tried to increase the memory in the converter script adding this ini_set("memory_limit","36M";

Now it does not give me the error but the script does end....but firefox says its ended...but no...the users are not imported the topics are not imported only my forums are imported and nothing more...
