I am going to be converting a IPB forum to vB.

[korny30]

I am having a heck of a time trying to find the congif file or any type of file that holds the database name, username, and password on IPB. I know this is an IPB question I should be asking at IPB.com, but I don't want to ask them there as I love it here

The IPB database that is being used has a password on of course, and I don't know it. I wanted to find it somewhere in the files through FTP as I can with vB in the config file. I need to back up the database so I can run test impex convertions. Can anyone that is fimilar with IPB let me know what the heck the config file is located so I can see the password used?

Look in the root directory of your IPB installation for a file called conf_global.php

Should have your database information in it.
