Data Source?? If you are asking about your MySQL Host, its localhost.

Edit:
Board path:
This is the relative path on disk to your former board from the root of this phpBB3 installation.

You have to do an installation, not a conversion.

Are you trying to do a conversion from phpBB2 to 3, or a fresh installation? If you can give me server information, I can help with either.

He Said 'Converting'...

I will be glad to help you convert!

That's the spirit!

Don't forget to make the MySQL DB, If not already made.

If it's a conversion, then the DB should already be there! I have a lot of fun with projects like these!

Hey,

If you already have a forum and you want to upgrade you choose the upgrade tool. If not, you want to install a new forum read below:

DB NAME: The db you made.
DB USERNAME: The username for your database you assigned to.
DB PASSWORD: The password you chosen.
SERVER HOST: localhost

Thats what your most likely having problems with. Please post if you have anymore questions

If it's too complicated for you, then you don't you ask one of the experienced members on x10... Like me .

Or you could use Fantasico DeLuxe to install it... May not be the most professional way to install it but it's the best option for noobs...
