Both Drupal and phpBB databases already exist, but are not prefixed with drupal_ or phpbb_...

What do I do? The Drupal ones have no prefix, and the ones for the phpBB are just bb_.

Any help you can offer would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

The only thing you really have to do is to merge both databases into a single one. Just export one of them and then import it in the other one. As long as at least one of them has unique prefix, there should be no conflicts. After that, you only have to rewrite the configuration files so the code knows which prefix are you using.

There is a file names "configuration.inc.php" in the main mod folder, you can set the prefix for the PHPbb database there. Just rewrite "phpbb_" to "php_" or whatever you are using. I dont know whether you have to rewrite some settings for the Drupal prefix, though. I haven't found anything in the mod files - so I guess the mod takes the information straight from the core.

Hope it works. Let us know how did it turn out.

Good luck,

Jiri
