I'm trying to do a fresh import of a phpBB2 forum - 2.0.22 and the target is 3.6.7 PL1. I uploaded all the files and I enter the import section in the admincp. When I go to go a test import of a freshly installed phpbb2 forum to see if the import works, I get an error. This one to be exact:
ImpEx can not read the target database details from impex/ImpExConfig.php OR ../includes/config.php.
Please enter the target database details in ImpExConfig, or run ImpEx installed opposed to standalone.
Now, I didn't enter the information into config file for the target database because at one point in the manual, it said I may not need to. So, not I'm guessing with this error, I need to. However, I never created a database with mysql, since I just uploaded all the files myself (rather than doing some sort of auto-intall like I can with phpBB2, where a database is automatically created).
Anyway, is there a way I can get the information for the target database somewhere? Or do I have to create a database for vB?
