which one to use once we run the Import Users module in IMPEX

a) path to old board user avatars ? ( /home/user/old_site/images/avatars )

b) path to Vbulletin avatar folder (images/avatars)

I have tryed most of them
here are nonworking example

/home/user/public_html/old_site/images/fbfiles/avatars

/public_html/old_site/images/fbfiles/avatars

old_site/images/fbfiles/avatars

no images are being transferred from old forum


old_site/images/fbfiles/avatars

Use the full and complete path to the directory containing your backup. On Unix/Linux systems you can find the complete path name by telnetting or sshing into your server, going to that directory and typing:

pwd

I am sorry but not working! I found the path by a php script, everything is 777. PHPBB2X to latest vbulletin 3.7.2. Unbelieveble, i tried the very same setup a couple of months ago, with older impex and vbulletin, and IT WORKED. and now... none. :(

storage type is file system, not database, everything is cool :( incredible. Also checked source database, everything is fine, "user_avatar" field has data, storage is ok, all is great. It can be a server issue? not allowing to copy things around "by itself"?

If you are using the correct path, then I do not see how this could happen.
