Connect Failure

[PGAmerica]

I have a fresh copy of vB 3.06 running on my site and I installed the Impex system so I can import from my old phpbb2 forum.

I click on the "Import / Export" link in my ACP and I get the following error:

--------------------------
Database error in vBulletin:ImpEx Target 3.0.6:

Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error:

mysql error number: 0
--------------------------

Currently, my ImpExConfig.php lookis like this:

;vBulletin:Impex Config File<?php /*
;| ################################################## ################## |;
;| # vBulletin 3.0.6 - Licence Number <REMOVED>

[ Target Database ]
; The following settings allow ImpEx to connect to the vBulletin 3
; database into which you will be importing data.

targetdatabasetype = mysql
targetserver = localhost
targetuser = "username is here"
targetpassword = "password is here"
targetdatabase = "database name is here"
targettableprefix =

[ Source Database ]
; If the system that is being imported from uses a database,
; enter the details for it here and set 'sourceexists' to TRUE.
; If the source data is NOT stored in a database, set 'sourceexists' to FALSE

sourceexists = true

; mysql OR mssql
sourcedatabasetype = mysql
sourceserver = localhost
sourceuser = "username is here"
sourcepassword = "password is here"
sourcedatabase = "database name is here"
sourcetableprefix = "phpbb2_"

;| ################################################## ################## |;

;| ################################################## ################## |;
;*/ ?>


Now, I know the username, password and database name for the target is proper because it is the same as in my config.php file my my vB.

I know that the information is correct for the source because it is the same as in the config.php for my phpbb2.

Ideas?

I've removed your license number from the .php file you posted to prevent abuse by others.

Oops! Thank you

This is almost certainly an issue with the db info in the ImpexConfig.php file. It's either that or a problem with your server.

[PGAmerica]

I agree with you that this is the way it seems. However, my vbb is working fine and using that same db info and my phpbb is working fine using that same db info. Could it be a formatting issue?

[Steve Machol]

It's possible. Try to retain the exact format and syntax of the ImpexConfig.php.new file.

Thank you Steve. I started completely over with fresh files and it worked. Hadf to be something I typed wrong.

Thanks again.
