Deleteing Impex Session.

My original import screwed up, and now I'm stuick on this on impex. The deleting session code is stuck in a loop. What do I do?

If your database in on a separate server you will have to make sure that the database on that server can accepted remote connections 99.99% won't due to security.

If you can get a copy of the database and restore it on the same database server that vBulletin is running on.

Please check 1st post for new question, thank you. :-) I fixed the original problem, and am now stuck on that.

[Jerry]

If you edit a post I'm not sure what was there or what isn't.

To delete the session go to ..../impex/help.php

[thenewuser]

right now I get

Impex Help page

Download impex again and upload and over write all the files and try again, this has been resolved.

[thenewuser]

ahh okay I did that it seemed like the import worked, it told me everything imported and nothing failed, it has imported the users but not the forums, any clue why?

Oh and thanks for the fast responces.

[Jerry]

Have you done all this :

i.e. Forum cache and Counters ?

[thenewuser]

you sir are a life saver, everything is working 100%, thank you.

I am also getting the:

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in /home/virtual/site8/fst/var/www/html/includes/class_core.php on line 1519

error, and I just downloaded impex today. in fact about 45 minutes ago.

[Aidden]

a little more detail. This is the original error message when running step 1 of IMPEX

Altering tables

ImpEx will now Alter the tables in the vB database to include import id numbers.This is needed during the import process for maintaining refrences between the tables during an import.If you have large tables (i.e. lots of posts) this can take some time.They will also be left after the import if you need to link back to the origional vB userid.

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

This ia a brand new 3.5 install. Im importing from a local phpBB2 database.

Also of note I am not receiving any technical staff emails. I have the proper email address in the config.php, and chnaged it to another known working email as well, still nothing.

We need to see the real error message. Right-click on the error page and go to View/Source. Then copy-n-paste the error message here.

[Aesgarth]

I'm getting the same error as Aidden, this is the error from right click/view source:

 Database error in vBulletin:ImpEx Source :

Invalid SQL: SHOW TABLES
mysql error: No Database Selected

what have i done wrong?

[Steve Machol]

Your ImpExConfig.php info is wrong. Make sure the sourceexists is 'true' and you are using the correct source db.

[Jerry]

I'm getting the same error as Aidden, this is the error from right click/view source:

If you have to right click/view source you are using an old version, you now get the SQL in a textbox by default.
