This is pissing me off!!

This is the second day and i still cant install impex. This is a part of it..the immportant one:

This is my config file:

'...$impexconfig['target'][''databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['target']['mysql13.powweb.com'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['target']['username here'] = 'username';
$impexconfig['target']['password here'] = 'password';
$impexconfig['target']['database name here'] = 'source';
$impexconfig['target']['tableprefix'] = '';


# 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

$impexconfig['sourceexists']['TRUE'] = false;

# mysql / mssql
$impexconfig['source']['databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['source']['mysql13.powweb.com'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['source']['username here'] = 'username';
$impexconfig['source']['password here'] = 'password';
$impexconfig['source']['database name here'] = 'source';
$impexconfig['source']['tableprefix'] = '';..'

I keep on getting ALL types of errors and i can never get it right. Right now when i go to : http://www.example.com/vb/impex/index.php I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /www/g/gameonlockco/htdocs/vb/impex/ImpExConfig.php on line 17

I was wondering if somebody could guide me through the whole installing and importation in this post until everything is done proprly..Ill keep posting the errors and problems im having and u guys just help me..

This error means you have a typo on or before line 17 of your ImpExConfig.php file. Compare it to ImpExConfig.php.new if you need an example of what it should look like.

Alright i fixed the config file but now im getting this error and its not true cause the stuff i put in..is real and right.

Connection to source server failed. Check username and password.

what else could cause this error other then the password and username?

This is what the modified config looks like:

$impexconfig['target']['databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['target']['mysql13.powweb.com'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['target']['username here'] = 'username';
$impexconfig['target']['password of the new database/user'] = 'password';
$impexconfig['target']['database name here'] = 'vbulletin_forum';
$impexconfig['target']['tableprefix'] = '';


# 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

$impexconfig['sourceexists']['TRUE'] = false;

# mysql / mssql
$impexconfig['source']['databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['source']['mysql13.powweb.com'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['source']['username on the database'] = 'username';
$impexconfig['source']['password to phpbb database'] = 'password';
$impexconfig['source']['phpbb database name'] = 'source';
$impexconfig['source']['tableprefix'] = '';

This is driving me insane..somebody please help. I tried doing this but it still wouldnt work:

$impexconfig['source']['tableprefix'] = 'phpbb_';

HELP PLEASE:eek::mad::o:(

I tried getting back onto my old forum (phpbb) after installing vb and im getting these errors..perhaps this has something to do with it


Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'Vladi_1'@'10.0.98.74' (using password: YES) in /www/g/gameonlockco/htdocs/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 48

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Edit: I just took off all the impex files off my server and only put up the ones i need. Vb and phpbb2. I changed the config. Went to my hosting site and changed my database password BUT STILL I GET 'Connection to source server failed. Check username and password.'

[Steve Machol]

Well first of all this should be set to 'true':

$impexconfig['sourceexists']['TRUE'] = true;

Also you need to look at the ImpExConfig.php.new file. You are adding a bunch of stuff that shouldn't be there, like the part in bold above.

Don't edit anything to the left of the equal sign. The variables go to the right of the equal sign.

Speak for yourself. When I moved from our old board and had a problem with the ImpEx script I had first class response from the team here.
