Error when running php2BB to JForum migration script (noClassDefFoundError)

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,
I am having a problem testing out the phpBB2 to JForum migration script.
The documentation for this is listed here:
http://www.jforum.net/doc/Migration

First, the documentation is out of date. It says that phpbb2jforum.bat is found in /tools/phpbb2jforum/, but I found it in /tools/bin/ instead.

Second, when I ran the migration script, it threw an exception:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\jforum2\tools\bin>phpBB2JForum.bat C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps
\jforum2

C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\jforum2\tools\bin>java -cp bin;lib\mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-bin.jar net.jforum.tools.phpbb2
jforum.Main C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/jforum/tools/phpb
b2jforum/Main

I'm not a Java programmer, so can anybody tell me what has happened here?
There is a Main.class file in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\jforum2\tools\bin\net\jforum\tools\phpb
b2jforum\, so I don't know why this exception is being generated.

Thank you for reading this.

I founded the same kind of errors!

1. MODIFY .bat:

java -cp %classpath%;bin;..\mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;..\WEB-INF\classes;..\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.12.jar;"C:\java\os\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14\webapps\forum\WEB-INF\lib\commons-lang-2.3.jar" net.jforum.tools.phpbb2jforum.Main %1 %2 %3

2. copy mysql connection jar (like mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar) into jforum dir.

2. execute AFTER
..\webapps\jforum\tools>bin\phpbb2JForum.bat "C:\jav
a\os\Apache Tomcat 6.0.14\webapps\jforum"

3. Change dirs into your dir paths

4. phpbb*tables should exists and jforum tables also

5. Modify SystemGlobals.properties below tools/bin

6. (I don't why, but): if got errors after exectuting .bat (phpbb2JForum.bat)

6.1 create dir phpbb2jforum\resource below jforum
6.2 copy files and dirs from tools\bin into phpbb2jforum\resource

Hope this helps and developers changet the .bat file!

Hi!
Thanks for finding this out. Ah, so the batch file was bugged. Let me go modify the batch file and see what happens.
