has anyone ran this conversion? I'm running into an error and i'm not sure if its me or the way our accounts are segmented.
I'm trying to convert my phpbb forum from domain A to SMF on domain B.
both are installed and working on their respective domains and I've put in the paths to each forum but i get an error:
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/hosted/domains/y/o/yoboseyochat.com/public_html/Settings.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
This installer was unable to find SMF in the path you specified.

Please double check the path, and that it is already installed there.

The file is there and accessible.

any ideas?
Thanks.

Is this the SMF converter on http://www.simplemachines.org/download/?converters
If so, check whether you are using phpBB or phpBB2, because there are different converters for both of them.

Please show the complete error message.

I think you are trying to do cross domain scripting which is not allowed.
ie. php on site1.ulmb.com cannot access files from site2.ulmb.com

sorry i dont have the error anymore but yes, the forums were on 2 different domains. regardless of putting the entire path in like /hosted/domains/ etc wont work because the fact they're on seperate domains?
any suggested workaround? copy the phpbb over and run again i guess..?

Just upload it to ULMB, with the SQL databases, and run the converter..

Both scripts will need to be on the same domain.
We must do this otherwise people could access other users account files from php.
