Impex errors.

[TosaInu]

Hello,

I've purchase VBulletin 3.03 yesterday and succesfully installed it. We need to convert and merge three 3.01 Ikonboard databases. So I'm toying with Impx so the real move will be fast and smooth.

When I click on Import/Export in the adminCP, I get an error:

Warning: call(includes/functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /../../../httpd/forums.totalwar.org/vb/impex/ImpExDisplayWrapper.php on line 36

Fatal error: call(): Failed opening required 'includes/functions.php' (include_path='/usr/local/lib/php/') in /../../../httpd/forums.totalwar.org/vb/impex/ImpExDisplayWrapper.php on line 36

Both the Wrapper and functions are there. Why doesn't it work?

When I click view PHP Info

Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons in /../../../httpd/forums.totalwar.org/admincp/index.php on line 875

Did I forgot a configuration in config.php or did the host turn something off?

Edit, found the setting for me, I guess the host turned it off.

It is a hostsetting, it does work on my own box, but I have no clue why. What to ask the host?

[Zachery]

Who is your host?

There is no real reason to disable phpinfo.


I would try reuploading the files again, if this doesnt work you are going to need to contact your host, I dont know of any reason for impex to not work on a host, as I have tested it on a few differnt hosts with no real issues.

[Steve Machol]

Generally when a host disables phpinfo, they also disable a lot of other standard PHP functions.

[TosaInu]

They have indeed configured a couple of things. PHP uploading and deleting is disabled. Any idea what to ask to be enabled? I know they did it for security. No PERL board and crippled PHP :(

I did re-upload Zachery, that's about the second thing I do when a script doesn't work.

Oh, I like this WYSIWYG mode.

[TosaInu]

The host asked which PHP functions are required. Which are?

[Scott MacVicar]

include_path should have .:/usr/local/lib/php/ so that local files can at least be included. I think your host hast went a bit over the top with security and has went into the realm of limiting usability.

[TosaInu]

The dots do represent a real path.

[Scott MacVicar]

include_path is a PHP setting and it should take it from the local directory or the include directory but your host only appears to have the include directory as the allowed include path.

[TosaInu]

Hello,

Could be. I've edited some full paths in 2 files and it's working now. It's odd that there are some other similar looking paths that appear to be satisfied with how they are.

It appears that the account password imported from Ikonboard don't work?

[Scott MacVicar]

Ikonboard uses a crypt method which is limited to the system it was initialised on. Your users will have to use the lost password feature though I believe its possible to modify your board to allow old passwords to be logged in once.
