I posted on phpBB as well but they suggested to make a thread here also. So here it is.
I get to step 16 or 17 of the conversion from phpbb2 to phpbb3, when it gets to posts ( there are more than 200,000 posts, it gets to about 180,000ish ) and then it brings me to a phpbb general error page which reads:

This is on my localhost! What should I do?
