My error message

[doemasters]

Took me forever to get everything done right in the config file and finally got the impex program to run but when i start by clicking the first one i get the error message

Altering tables
ImpEx will now Alter the tables in the vB database to include import id numbers.This is needed during the import process for maintaining refrences between the tables during an import.If you have large tables (i.e. lots of posts) this can take some time.They will also be left after the import if you need to link back to the origional vB userid.

If you have all red tables, i.e. none correct this could possible be your table prefix :


phpbb_ Failed Check database permissions and connection, or table prefix to ensure its correct


any idea what i done wrong?

Thanks

You need to set the source table prefix in ImpExConfig.php to: phpbb_

As Steve said, the prefix.
