I am trying to use the phpBB 2 --> FUD 2.6.x conversion script to convert a large modified phpBB 2.0.13 forum to FUD 2.6.12. I did this successfully for a small forum, but with a large forum, the page tries to load for a few minutes (and both Apache and MySQL are working hard during that time) but after a few minutes the loading just stops and nothing is displayed in the browser.
Nothing is actually imported into FUD.
I tried editing the php.ini file to allow for really long execution times and lots of memory usage, but it still doesn't work.
The phpBB forum has 600+ members and 8000+ articles with about 250 smilies.
Has anyone ever gotten such a large phpBB forum successfully converted?

Many people have, I have done so many times personally for various clients. The problem in your case is that you have quite a bit of data and PHP has execution time limit, that restricts the duration of time for which a script can run. The solution can be either to run the script via the command line or increase this limit.
