Hi folks,

I am trying to migrate a WBB 3.1 board to MyBB for the obvious reasons.

PHP: 7.4
Webserver: Apache

The merger suggests that "The WBB 3 / Lite 2 database could not be found in 'wbb-old'. Please ensure WBB 3 / Lite 2 exists at this database and with this table prefix."

Does the merger set some default prefix while WBB hasn't?

Cheers

The error message you received during the migration process suggests that the migration tool is not able to locate the database for your WBB 3/Lite 2 installation in the specified directory 'wbb-old'. This could be due to several reasons, such as incorrect directory path, missing database files or incorrect table prefix.

Regarding your question about the table prefix, it is possible that the WBB installation did not set a default table prefix. In this case, you may need to manually enter the correct table prefix for your WBB installation during the migration process to MyBB.

To find out the correct table prefix for your WBB installation, you can check the database configuration file for your WBB installation. This file is typically located in the 'inc/config.inc.php' directory of your WBB installation. Look for the line that contains the '$db->table_prefix' variable and note down the prefix used.

Once you have determined the correct table prefix, you can try running the migration tool again and enter the correct prefix when prompted.
