Importing from XMB on Another Site

[tfanelli]

I have an XMB forum hosted on another site that I would like to import into my vb forum on my current site. I have made a backup of the XMB database and have posted it to a directory in my current site. How to I point the import config file to this database. Do I ned to set this up as an actual database running onmy site or can I just point the importer to the datafile.

you need to set it up as an actual database or at least import it in to your vB database as I believe XMB has a different table prefix to vB.

Is there some step by step info on how to do this?

Ok here is another problem, when I try to access my Import Export page I get this error:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /data/sites/34631/idnac.com/www/forums/impex/db_mysql.php on line 220

All I did was run the first option on the import page and it said it was successful.

Its a stale session run this query
DELETE FROM datstore WHERE title = 'ImpexSession'

You'll need to run step 1 again. There are a few problems when you click out of the pages instead of waiting for hte page to redirect.

Ok I tried to run the query and this is the error I got:


vBulletin MessageAn error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table '34631_1.datstore' doesn't exist
Any thoughts?

DELETE FROM datastore WHERE title = 'ImpexSession'
