Sory, the only one I could suggest: Remove the link as quickly as possible!!! And best, the install folder.

Are you placing phpBB2 and phpBB3 tables in the same db?
If no, this is the nth time this question is asked.
If yes, maybe the convertor does not accept "" as table prefix, while phpBB2 did? In this case (try changing the prefix to see if the error message changes), report a bug.

Thats why you should install phpbb2 with prefixes.
