Converting SP1 ==> YaBB SE Problems. Please Help...

[Krip730]

Hey guys and girls.

I am running a forum with 130 members and we have had over 2500 posts this month from them... so my host suspended my account due to high cpu usage as the email stated.  Our host is tera-byte.com

So I thought I would take the step to upgrade to YaBB SE.  I now have 48 hours to "change the forum software" as my host puts it or my account goes bye bye.

I tried upgrading and received the errors listed below:

YaBB 1 Gold to YaBB SE Converter
Converting Settings...

Purging the database as per request...
yabbse_seniorinstant_messages purged
yabbse_seniormembers purged
yabbse_seniorcategories purged
yabbse_seniorboards purged
yabbse_seniortopics purged
yabbse_seniormessages purged
yabbse_seniormembergroups purged

So is anyone able to help me with this please ?  It is importent to me as it is my hobby this forum and i would hate to loose it.  I also don't want to go over to iB and VBB because every1 is running them these days.... i would preffer to stand apart from the crowd.

Anyway your help if possible is much appreciated.

Look at the error messages

it can't open this directory:

/home/sites/site51/web/senior/YaBB/Variables

and you're running the converter script from

/home/sites/site51/web/seniorSE/yabbse

So is the old board in senior or seniorSE?  like just double check the path...
