Sorry for the late answer, but I’m not going further in this, I suggest to ask this at vBulletin forums as I got not enough insight in vBulletin

Thanks again. My situation is this: I need to log into vbulletin with my username and password using POST in Java. Is this what you did as well? Are the POST form names “vb_login_password” and “vb_login_username”? I can’t seem to find this information anywhere.

$hash = md5(md5($password) . $salt);

wherein $password is the plain password and $salt is the salt for that user (found in the db)

This was helpful but I’m wondering if you could possibly explain in greater detail what the vbulletin login in its entirety looks like.

Just to report, from 8 till 17 April I’m at the USA so I won’t be able to check Internet (at most, I can just surf a bit)

Hi,

If you get a timeout, first try to convert offline (like told in the knownledgedb of phpBB.com)

If you get a SQL ran out of memory problem, I suggest to open functinos_phpbb2CH and find
if ($convert->mysql_convert && $same_db) { $src_db->sql_query("SET NAMES 'binary'"); } // Grab forum auth information from 2.0.xCH board, without the admin group $sql = "SELECT ug.user_id, g.group_single_user, g.group_user_id, a . * FROM {$convert->src_table_prefix}auths a LEFT JOIN {$convert->src_table_prefix}groups g ON g.group_id = a.group_id LEFT JOIN {$convert->src_table_prefix}forums f ON f.forum_id = a.obj_id LEFT JOIN {$convert->src_table_prefix}user_group ug ON g.group_id = ug.group_id WHERE a.obj_type = 'f' AND g.group_id <> " . GROUP_FOUNDER . " AND g.group_id <> " . GROUP_ADMIN;

$result = $src_db->sql_query($sql);

$usergroup_access = array(); while ($row = $src_db->sql_fetchrow($result)) { $usergroup_access[] = $row; } $src_db->sql_freeresult($result);
and replace it with
$usergroup_access = array();

This will remove the convertion of all authentication, but as founder you can set it manualy.
Next it’s suggested to do this as you can then use roles instead of manual permissions.

If it still doesn’t work, you can mail me, then I’ll update the database for you.

Thanks for helping people

Just I don’t know if this converter will work correctly with my forum because I have around 5 million post and around 130.000 user.
please let me know if this possible, I’ve tried the old converter but I always had time out error.

Thanks Mate.
