No, jacob was changing some things, he must have made a mistake.

How did you change from punbb-hosting to something else? I'm thinking I might want to move mine to Fluxbb.

It's not super easy, and lot's of things don't transfer over, like modifications and passwords. hmm

To tamper is to deliberately interfere in a harmful manner.

Download the database in the administration tab, get an account on somewhere like 1freehosting, install FluxBB 1.2.24 on it (by uploading the files via FTP), go to phpMyAdmin, import the .sql file of your database, go to the "SQL" tab, put;

Code:

drop table bans;
alter table [forum name]$bans rename to bans;
drop table categories;
alter table [forum name]$categories rename to categories;

and keep on doing that for all the tables. You now have it running on FluxBB 1.2.24, to upgrade to 1.4.8, upload all the 1.4.8 files in the directory that 1.2.24 is in, extract all of them, remove a line out of db_update.php (I'll get back to you on which line), go to the forums, it'll ask you to update your database, enter the phpMyAdmin password, let it do its magic, and you've successfully transferred to 1.4.8. As Steve said though, you can't transfer passwords, so you'll need to get them to PM you their new password.

You know... I don't have many users or posts yet (it's actually a rather lame amount: 10 users, 2 topics, 7 posts neutral ). I think I'll just make a new site. Thanks for the help though!

PullJosh · 2012-05-05 07:15:12

...I downloaded it and I have no idea what to do. The tutorial is worthless (at least to me). Could anyone explain it?

RedRocker227 · 2012-05-05 09:17:12

You download what, exactly? FluxBB? The database?

Have you made an account on 1freehosting yet (or another hosting service, that's what I use though)? If you want I could make a short video explaining the basics.

Well, we tried using a backup of the old database, but it didn't work at all, as the database is designed for a heavily modded PunBB instead of a fresh copy of FluxBB.
We started from scratch instead.

Unless you want a lot of work altering the database, I would recommend you also start from scratch.

FluxBB. Let me go make an account...
Edit: I have FluxBB and an account on 1freehosting.

Ok. Dang, I should have showed you my referral link. tongue

Anyway, you need to create a MySQL database, and set up the forums for that. Use the MySQL Improved driver in FluxBB.

Or, if you don't want to go through that trouble, use SQLite.

But how do you run a .php file?

Um, you put it in the public_html folder and put it in the url (i.e. /public_html/test.php would be accessed by http://yoursite.com/test.php)

Thanks! (I'm not that good at these things... just to state the obvious.)

Can't wait until the voting. So excited!

I have it at the part where you choose a well... I don't know what to call it. You can choose WordPress, MyBB, phpBB, etc. It doesn't have FluxBB though. Should I use the PunBB one?

I installed FluxBB myself without using the auto-installer.
And no, you should NOT use PunBB.

Could you give some sort of re-wording of the tutorial here? That would help a lot.

He's using 1FreeHosting, I think.

stevetheipad · 2012-05-05 11:05:04

Ah, because they're auto-install feature is super easy for Punbb, but you have to actually install Fluxbb.

Do not use PunBB. It's terrible. I'll try and make a video explaining how to install FluxBB either today or tomorrow, I'm not promising anything though. I am extremely busy, so I may not be able to. I'll try though.

Added to my sig!

I'm experiencing errors. Now, Google Chrome says "The server took too long to respond" when I go to the forums.

And I really want to sign up for mod elections!!! tongue

RedRocker227 · 2012-05-05 12:50:52

It's too late to run for Mod.

And I think it's to do with the host's servers, I've been experiencing the same difficulties with other websites that use the same host.

I got banned for an hour because of too many connections from my IP. The worst part: in the last two hours, I've visited about 5 pages total.

And, the CM elections are today, so it is to late to run.
