Hello friends,
I am using invision forum version2, and have a sql ~40mb.

I want to convert to webwiz forum. Is it possible, is there
a script to convert the invision sql to make it work with webwiz forum pl.

Secondly: my database is quite big, I got 750gigs space on linux
server, but only 20mb on nt server. Is it possible for me to use the
sql database on linux server or use .mdb file on linux server and
keep the .asp files of forum on nt server ??

Regards

MySQL will not work with Web Wiz Forums.

If you use the Access version the database, for security reasons, must be on the same server as the site is hosted.

With the MS SQL Server version of web wiz forums you use a MS SQL Server which is usually not located on the same server as the web site.

MS SQL Server will only run on a windows web server and needs to be installed and setup by the web host. There are many hosting companies that can give you MS SQL Server only space.
