I posted this in the port to drupal 7 post, however it already has 150+ posts and decided maybe it was time to start opening other posts specifically pertaining to certain issues as many of us may end up running into the same problems and having separate posts would help.

I've tried this two different ways and both ways it is not working. I've merged the databases together tried to import the users and it stops at about 100 users. I've tried to pull the database across different databases, it only pulls about 100 users.

I can pull my forums themselves, but posts and topics won't work. After about 30 seconds of waiting it gives me a 500 Internal Server Error. I know this problem can happen when you are trying to install a database through something like phpmyadmin where you are unfortunately stuck with creating a bigdump and importing the database that way.

So the only thing I can think of since a few have been so successful is that I am doing something wrong, or missing a step.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if it is 30 seconds every time, then it is most likely a php timeout issue.

you need to set that to be a lot higher for php, as this module does the whole conversion in a single stage and this will take longer than 30 seconds.

Thanks nbz, I assume I change that in my php.ini file then correct?

Edit - Changed the php5.ini file to be 2400 seconds, I am only getting about half of my database to transfer. Its running for about two or three minutes today.

could be a memory thing too, try increasing the php memory limit.

Memory limit has been increased to 300 meg, time increased to 2400 seconds (40 minutes) still only running for about 30 seconds before it kills out on me.
