to copy manually you just open the databases and copy the text inside.. but thats hell alot of work if you have got a 35+mb database..

if you are using access and the server support access and asp, then maybe you can run wwf.. but i know nothing about linux and apache and that type of sh*t.. have tried Mandrake 8.1 "the easiest linux version ever" didnt understand sh*t of it.. then my ideas about starting with php went away and i started with asp..

i think you have a problem if you are going to use your webwiz database on a linux server....... you could manually copy all the data from one database to another..

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have got my linux server logon details from my webhost now.
I had seen a post at http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=33443
which says it has a converter to convert wwf to phpbb but it gives some error.
BTW, u said u can manually copy, how do i do that??]]> Fri, 28 Nov 2003 12:57:25 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/run-forum-on-linux_topic7639_post38656.html#38656 <![CDATA[run forum on linux???? : i havnt tried invision board.....]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/run-forum-on-linux_topic7639_post38630.html#38630 Author: Semikolon

Ok. I will try PhpBB Again. I have used this webwiz forum for about 6months and my database size is 35MB+ . If i install PhPBB, what do i do of the database. It cannot be installed with that.

BTW, If i can manage to install INVISION BOARD, is it good? I have heard it has LOTS AND LOTS OF FEATURES.

Thank you

I have a win2k pc with Mysql and PPhp installed. I tried the invision board and as i already said, the config is VERY VERY DIFFICULT. It's very hard 2 manage that.
Regarding PhPbb, I know know about its admin but i dont like the interface. I'll try that phpnuke.
Any other forums.
Sorry for disturbing you guys, Again.

Ok. I have seen the specifications for running Web Wiz but i cant help i need a linux based forum.
Sorry, this is not the right place to discuss this, but as i said, invision admin is VERY VERY TOUGH, and except phpBB, do you suggest something else.

If you want to use Linux then you will have to use a PHP based forum like phpBB or invision.

If you want to use Web Wiz Forums then your only choice is to use a Windows and an IIS web server.

See the following page for the server specs required for Web Wiz Forums:-
