Import problem...Please help!

[ravencr]

When I click import, all I get is this screen and now list like it shows in the manual of each item I need to go through. I did get it originally, then it stopped working.

Here's what's on the screen when I click import:

Using includes/config.php for target config.

This probably means that you have started a module but never finished it. Some modules might need some more time to finish.

First please let the page run for a while. If this is not solving you problem, please use the link in the top of the page to reset your impex session.

It's doing it though as soon as I click the import button. Do I just let it do it's thing at this point, because it doesn't appear to be doing anything?

Then if I click the database cleanup button above it, it gives me this error:

ImpEx Database errormysql error: cannot use database vbulletin_forum

mysql error: Access denied for user 'ravencr'@'208.97.128.0/255.255.192.0' to database 'vbulletin_forum'

mysql error number: 1044

As the error message says, that mysql user doesn't have permission to access that database. Check your config file settings.

For what exactly?

When I try to do the second item: associate users it gives me this error:

ImpEx Database errormysql error: Invalid SQL:
SELECT user_id,username
FROM users
ORDER BY user_id
LIMIT 0,25

mysql error: Table 'utvrally.users' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

Well, I got it to import, but nothing is showing up in the new forum, just the main forum, no members, etc. Here's what the import looks like:

Please see the After Game section in Importing HOWTO

[ravencr]

I've got everything populated now, except for my users. When I run the associate users part of the import, the boxes are empty on the right with the users on the left. What do I put in those boxes?

Here's the forum: http://www.utvrally.com/forum

Thanks for the help,

Chris

You only need to use the associate users module if you have members that are already registered at your vBulletin forums, and have a different email address on your old forum. Then you can use this module to associate users that will be imported with an existing vBulletin user.
