    need urgent help with impex error Link-ID == false, connect failed

    hi trying to import phpbb to vb301 using impex, get the following error:

    Database error in vBulletin:ImpEx Target 3.0.1:
    Link-ID == false, connect failed
    mysql error:
    mysql error number: 0

    config seems fine, got about 1500 users waiting on me guess i need to raise a support call.

    my config is:

    Quote:
    targetdatabasetype = mysql
    targetserver = localhost
    targetuser = apug002_xxxx
    targetpassword = xxxx
    targetdatabase = apug002_vb
    targettableprefix = vb3_

    [ Source Database ]
    ; 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

    sourceexists = true

    sourcedatabasetype = mysql
    sourceserver = localhost
    sourceuser = apug002_xxxx
    sourcepassword = xxxx
    sourcedatabase = apug002_forum
    sourcetableprefix = phpbb_




    As far as I can tell everything is set right. Both forums are up and running. If anyone can help me get this going asap I can flick $20 to your paypal account. Thanks!

      As martin said, this is either due to misconfiguration in your Impex config file, or there are problems connecting to the server. If you can access your vB forums, then the problem is with the info in the Impex config file. You need to double-check that info.
