Please forgive me if any of my questions are boneheaded, but....
phpBB 3.1.12 to MyBB 1.8.21
>578,000 posts
As I'm understanding this, I have my current phpBB board running in, say /forum, and my MyBB board in /forum2.
I upload the conversion files to /forum2 and run it from there.
Does the converter import my phpBB database to the MyBB one or does it make changes to the phpBB db and use it? i.e. will the phpBB board still work?
What do I do with the attachments folder, leave it in the old directory or move it to the MyBB one? And should the attachments still work? Does it preserve the old paths for attachments and smilies or will my 404's go through the roof?
Is it best to disable extensions or does that matter?
Can the converter handle 500k+ posts?
Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make absolutely sure I'm doing this right since screwing anything up could be kind of catastrophic.
