Hi,
today I imported a forum that I acquired into my own forum using Impex 1.104. The old forum runs on IPB 3.4.3 and my site is based on vBulletin 4.2.1.
Every step worked properly except importing attachments. It always turned out error messages like:
"Source file not found :: monthly_05_2010post-1-127366130333.jpg"
It was definitely the correct absolute path! I even tried relative paths and many alternatives. I've spend half a day, read forums and so on, but I couldn't figure it out.
To explain the current file names:
I changed the names in both database and FTP (with prior folder name in it and removed commas, because I thought, that could be the issue). I also renamed the column "attach_location" to "attach_file", because otherwise Impex would look for file names that do not exist.
So as I said: The file names in the error messages are now exactly the same as in the directory!
Please help!
Thanks,
Jakob
