phpBB to vBulletin: Revisted

[MrMoolz]

Ok all.

I have installed impex with no problems. I am importing phpbb 2.0.22
Impex works as it should.

My problem lies in the first step.

[B]Altering tables[/B]
 
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.

[B]If you have all red tables, i.e. none correct this could possible be your table prefix :[/B] 
 
 
phpbb_
Failed Check database permissions and connection, or table prefix to ensure its correct

Can anyone surmise what my problem may be?

Thanks in Advance.

Here's a clue:

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

Just to maybe offer some assistance...

I had this exact type of error before I realized that my phpBB SQL data backup from another server had not imported properly into mySQL -- ImpEx was effectively working with an empty database.
