VB3 -> VB3 Attachment Import Error

[TheCorp]

Everything is going smoothly with my VBB3 -> VBB3 import except when I get to the attachments import section it always times out at some point. Any idea why this would be happening? It gets to about 50 attachments before it messes up...

Is the target board using the database or filesystem for storage, if its the database try setting the attachments to be stored in the file system, it could be overloading the database some how.

Its using the database system, there around ~700 attachments at around 160 megs (i checked the actual data files on the mysql database server). I changed the target db to use the filesystem and now every attachment says there is an error importing the attachment.

I have the uploads folder outside of the public_html, it is chmod'd 777, and I changed the folder from the current one to another and then back again to make sure that the system could write files to the directory when it tests when you change the attachment directory.

Any idea why this would be happening?

Changing the target systems storage type shouldn't change if it can be imported or not, have you changed the paths or trying to import to 3.5 ?

[TheCorp]

The path is all setup and im only trying to restore a messed up forum so its from one version to the same version (3.07) and its just giving me an error everytime it tries to import an attachment.

[Jerry]

Which error ? Source file not found or something else ?

Technically ImpEx supports 3.0.8, though there is not diffrence that would make that break.

[TheCorp]

"Error with importing attachment" was the error i was getting and it just says it for each file.

Ok, could be quite a few things then.

Can you start a support ticket and ask for me so I can have a look at it.
