Where I am at presently:
This looks similar to the users.aim error mentioned here: viewtopic.php?t=2527116
Thank you for any assistance you may have provided. If someone finds this thread in the future I hope it is helpful. I did not break my steps down by showing keystrokes, but the bullet list in this post alone should suffice to get you through the conversion.
- Created a new Virtual Machine (VM).
- Installed Debian using the unattended install.
- Installed php5.6 (had to separately install php5.6-xml as well).
- Installed MyBB 1.8.37.
- Installed phpBB 3.1.
- Installed the mybb -> phpbb converter 1.0.2: viewtopic.php?f=486&t=2278541
- Backed up my live MyBB forum. Transferred the backup to my VM.
- Had to manually delete the MyBB database tables one by one. I could have scripted it, but by the time I would have that done I could have just deleted them. This was manually done because phpmyadmin is not fond of php5.6, and every time I try running multiple versions of php I run into errors. So I am trying to do this incrementally.
- Manually imported the MyBB backup database into my VM MyBB database.
- Logged into one of the MyBB Admin accounts and set the theme to some basic theme. (This is because when I deleted everything and imported the backup database the theme was off so all css references failed meaning a basic text and broken formatted forum. Setting the theme fixed this.)
- Based on this thread, I commented out the users.aim line in the convert_mybb18.php file: viewtopic.php?t=2527116
- From the phpBB install page, clicked the convert tab, and began the conversion, until I ran into this error:
Code:

- This worked!
