Please Help!!

i downloaded the importer files. I uploaded it to my vb root directory which happens to be www.mysite.com/vb/upload/impex

I changed it to www.mysite.com/vb/importers

so all the files are in the /importers dir.

when i point my browser to it, it brings me to a login forum, but when i login it takes me the the usual next login page then refreshes to the same login page.

Is there documentation for the importer?

sorry, i'm new at this.

there was a impex.readme.txt file within the zip you downloaded.

I know that the folder should be impex and not importers.

[nicktejo]

no, i left it as it was.

should i have?

i edited my post above.

cookiepath isn't the issue your having.

[nicktejo]

I can't find the file. There is an apidoc folder with \phpBB2_000.html but that is no help.

Can you e-mail me the text file or tell me where to find it?

[Scott MacVicar]

when you downloaded the importer zip file there was a folder called upload and two files upload_agreement.html and impex.readme.txt

Installation
============

Decompress impex into the vb3/ folder and check the admincp Import &
Maintenance section for the "Import / Export" link.

From there select the system you want to import from and follow the on screen instructions.

Config :

Rename the ImpExConfig.php.new file to ImpExConfig.php.
Edit it to allow impex to connect to your vB3 database and the source database.

If the source is a file system (i.e. ubb_classic) set the source exists to
false and leave the source database details as they are.

thanks a bunch. I did the import, but for some reason the categories and posts aren't showing.

ok, i need to update counters.... figuring out how to do that now.

You'll need to rebuild some of the caches.

In the admin panel under Imports & Maintenance Click Update Counters
and then run the following in this order
Rebuild Thread Information
Rebuild Forum Information
