Impex error

[Jekht]

When I press the import button within the import table of the admin panel, I get this error

ImpEx Database errormysql error: Link-ID == false, connect failed

mysql error:

mysql error number: 0

Date: Tuesday 07th of March 2006 04:18:04 PM
Database: vbulletin_forum
MySQL error:

I have as far as I can tell installed it correctly. The only problem I can see, is that the new forums, and my old forums are running off the same server.

Any help would be appreciated to how I can import my users and posts from my current forums

(link: www.the-causality.com/forum
and VB www.the-causality.com/forums)

It seems as if your ImpexConfig.php file isn't set up correctly.
Doublecheck the settings there.

[Jekht]

I'm sure the details are correct. I'v left the top part normal as it says, and the bottem part is filled in with my database details, which I'v checked.

I have a feeling its sharing the same database for both forums, should that be a problem?

[Colin F]

No, that shouldn't be a problem.
Can you start a support ticket, providing your FTP and AdminCP login details please, so that I can look at the issue?

[Jekht]

sure, how do I do that? sorry heh

I cant find it under support on the main page, faq, and not in the CP.

Any help would be much appreciated tho :)

[Colin F]

Send an email to support@vbulletin.com

[Jekht]

cheers, all sent. Look forward to hearing back from ya

[Jekht]

thanks Colin, looking a little closer to the final mark now :)

It's imported all the users fine, but all the posts although it says they have imported dont show. Same with the forums and threads. Any ideas?

[Steve Machol]

Please follow the 'After the Import' instructions here:

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/impex_cleanup?manualversion=30501500

This should solve those issues.

[Jekht]

Thanks, working much better now.

Only last problem is all users in their old posts appear as

!##NULL##!*username*!##NULL##! (http://www.the-causality.com/forums/member.php?u=393)

thoughts? :)

[Steve Machol]

Offhand I'd say that looks like a style problem. Try this. Create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

[Jekht]

yep I have. Still the same though

You can check this now on www.the-causality.com/forums as its been added as a style.

It's very odd...

[Steve Machol]

Check your User Title settings in the Usergroups.

[Jekht]

thankyou very much, all fixed now! :)
