I think you might have missed some words that I wrote. I said that I clicked on the Install, it brings me to a page that asks for my admin username and my smf database. This is the page I reach: http://mysite.com/admin/package_install.php?f=smf_bridge-1.00.zip

isn't the admin username, the same admin name that I created in SMF?

When I insert the admin username that I made for SMF and then insert my smf database name, an error in red appears at the top of the page saying: The username you entered as admin could not be found. Please enter another username

The username you want to type into the field is the username of a member on your site that you want to be the SMF admin, it's telling etano which person to use. The next field is the name of the database smf will access. There is no field for user and password since etano already has that information, it only needs the data base name because to install this you need two databases accessible by the same user.

The problem was resolved through the Datemill team. The issue at hand was that the bridge was an old 1.0 version (for SMF 1.0) and the SMF I had was the 2.0 version. They don't work together. So, the Datemill team created a SMF bridge 2.0 to work with SMF 2.0 and everything worked perfectly ever since. During the whole ordeal, I let them run a new installation and develop a new bridge at the same time.

So just to clarify ..the SMF Bridge that you can download is still the version 1.0? And therefore there is no 2.0 bridge available? Or have I miss read this?

I tried to install the SMF 2.0 application along with the only available bridge download which said 'SMF bridge 1.0.' ( I was hoping it was actually the 2.0 bridge).

So, This didn't install and returned a critical error.

contact Datemill via their contact form and see if they can install SMF onto your site for you. It won't cost an arm & a leg for them to do it and they'll make the SMF bridge for you as well.

Bugger, so there is no SMF 2.0 bridge at hand. I'm just wanting to install it locally on my developer site first. - maybe they could release one for everyone..  :|
