Error - Import/Export

[erikajune]

When I click on Import/Export in the ACP I get this:

Database error in vBulletin:ImpEx Source 3.0.1:
Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error:

mysql error number: 0

What did I do wrong?

[Steve Machol]

Did you edit the Impex config file with your database info?

[erikajune]

yes.

I edited it with my info... took the "new" out. The uploaded the impex folder to www.mysite.com/forums

[erikajune]

SHould I be uploading the impex file to admincp?

[erikajune]

I deleted it and then re-uploaded it and finally it seemed to work until I clicked on the first one and got this:

Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/pam/public_html/forums/impex/db_mysql.php on line 220

Unfortunately, one person can really give you an answer right now on this issue and if he had it or had seen this he would have answered it.

If you need faster service, you need to open a support ticket through official channels. It will then be assigned to the person who can help and he can provide and answer.

SHould I be uploading the impex file to admincp?

The entire IMPEX directory including its subdirectories should be uploaded to the AdminCP.

[Pamela]

Thank you! We'll try that!

[erikajune]

If I upload the impex file to /admincp, there is no Import/Export option in the ACP. If I upload it to /forums it does show up but doesn't work.

What am I supposed to do?

Try this thread here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101791

It might solve your problem with the database error.

I'm getting exactly what that guy was getting except it is already set to "true".

Any other suggestions?

Not yet, no.

I got an email (from you I believe) asking if:

$sourceexsists = true

is set in ImpExConfig.php....and YES it is!

Anything else we can try?

Please help!!! Thank you!

Is the database you are trying to connect to, the source, on the same server.

[Pamela]

No, we changed hosts! Oh no...is that a big problem?
