Importers (requests & poll)

Yes the system folder name is wrong, though in the drop down list on the source select page its listed as Max Web Portal.

Either way its there and you can import

Matt's Script Archive MSA : WWWBoard

Matt Wright's wwwboard

wwwboard is almost the mother of all forum software, dating back to 1995.

I guess i could try an import through other free software. I have seen it done before although it was very convoluted. Maybe there is en easier path now.

Is there a list of current importers?

No need to shout

Wasn't there an import for wwwboard into vB2

[Steve Machol]

Nope, at least not an official one.

How about an export/import for vBulletin itself? This would provide a way for people to start from scratch with an unhacked forum, and no extra files on their hosts or data in their databases also. May be especially useful when upgrading from a hacked forum. It could be extended to include private message in addition to users and threads/posts.

This is already an option

I used it recently

There are separate importers for vB2. 3.0.x and 3.6.x.

[dartho]

Fantastic!

Now, how do I do this. I wish to export from 3.5.4 on one host, and import into a brand new installation of 3.6.2 on another host. Neither host appears to support cross domain access to the MySQL database.

Any help appreciated.

Sorry going off topic here - this should probably be moved to a different thread/forum?

Yes, you should post in a separate thread. This is the "Importers (requests...)" topic. Since an importer already exists for 3.5.4 into 3.6.2, no need to request.

There is really no reason to use ImpEx (Import/Export) for your situation. ImpEx does not necessarily import everything and is not the recommended method of upgrading a forum.

I would create a full MySQL backup of your 3.5.4 forum and download it. Restore it to the new site. Upload the 3.6.2 vBulletin files. Edit your config.php file. Run the upgrade script.
