Which version of UBB.classic is this? It looks like you didn't enter the correct paths to the UBB folders in ImpExConfig.php.

[Neill]

not sure what version of classic it is, doing this for a customer.
ive checked the ImpExConfig.php and there is no place to change paths?

[Steve Machol]

The version is kind of important to know. You might want to find out that info.

Also I was wrong. You enter the path info when doing the import in the Admin CP. Make sure that 'sourceexists' is set to 'FALSE' though since this is not from a database.

[Neill]

what are the right paths to enter, ive been searching around trying to figure it out and have got nowhere.
its showing that it cant find the var_ cgi files, ive searched all over my ftp and cant find them

thanks for your help so far

[Steve Machol]

The paths are dependent on where these directories are located on the server. There is no default location that is true for everyone.

[Neill]

how do i find out what version it is?
right now i have paths set for impex/systems/ubb_classic and it says they are OK, but the var cgi files are NOT OK

[Steve Machol]

Look at the UBB forums. There should be a version number listed.

[Neill]

i think all im missing is a path to the cgi files
i cant find where the cgi files are located, can i downlaod them from somewhere else?

[Jerry]

If you can't find the cgi files then ubb.classic isn't installed.

Check the URL to the ubb.classic board and track down the ubb install paths from there.

Not in variables folder

By the way, those files "Not OK" are not in the variables folder. They are in the root UBB cgi folder. Set your variables path to this folder. At least it's this way on my systems and I had the same problem,

That is the path that is asked for by impex, not the impex system folder.
