Last days I migrated my websites (including my forum) from the Windows server to a Linux server.
My forum was build on an Access database.

What do I have to do to migrate successfull all messages?

Web Wiz Forums will only run on a Windows web server.

If you use other web servers you will need to use a different forum package.

Ok, it is possible to convert the Access database to an SQL database?

SQL stands for 'Structured Query Language' and is the language used to talk to nearly all databases including Access.

The reason why Web Wiz Forums will not work on a Linux system is becuase it is written in ASP.

ASP works fine on Windows as Microsoft wrote ASP, on Linux systems you must reply on 3rd party software to run ASP which doesn't work very well or support ASP fully.

This is why Web Wiz Forums will not work on a Linux system.
