Yup its there.... Darn.... I'll try a phpinfo and see if its on...

Nope .. Safemode off...

... something isn't right.... the Members dir.. has lots of files though....

I edited the script and removed the check for the Members Dir...
Unfortunately it just says the same for the next dir...

There is definitely and issue like you said that the server isn't allowing the directory browsing or access for the import...

Safemode in php is off as shown above with the phpinfo... any further ideas... did I miss something?

At this point it's really hard to say. To really help we'd probably need a support ticket with ftp info to take a look at what's going on.

Looks like Rick Sorted this one out...

Open_Base Dir wouldn't let the importer view directories not in the web root... thus the CGI-bin directory couldn't be seen by the script
...

copied the cgi-bin folders over to a new directory on the same server and it ran no problem.

Just one hitch now is the conversion seems to think there is no old forums (Probably because there are no categories) so it shows them in the active but not in the forums list...

Found it... again Thx Rick!

The above script did the trick!
