yaf import issue - please help!

[16volt]

Clean import
Source - yaf - 1.9.1.7 (NET v2.0)
Target - vBulletin 3.8.3
Module - 001

It seems like the importer is not finding my tables. I have checked and double checked the config and see no issues. The table prefix is correct, I just can't seem to get this first step working!

Here is the output from the first module... Any ideas?

ImpEx build version : 1.92
  
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 references 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 original vB userid.

Check the YAF database. What are the names of the tables there?

the names of the tables are the same as the ones i've shown in red in my original post

[Steve Machol]

They can't be, otherwise you would not get an error stating those tables don't exist. So either the tables names are different, you are looking at the wrong database, or you have a different error now.

here are some screenshots....


my source database (yaf):



my destination db:




the impex config file:




the source db tables:

[Steve Machol]

Assuming that is the correct database, the table names have capital letters. Try renaming them to all lowercase.

not sure why but this is the output of the impex module now: i renamed the first table to be "yaf_accessmask"

So this is an SQL Server database? If so that is not supported by Impex:

Yet Another Forum
Tier = 3
Source version support in ImpEx = 1.9.0

• Import usergroup
• Import user
• Import forum
• Import thread
• Import post
• Import Private messages
• Import attachment

Also since this is a Tier 3 imported I'm afraid it's no longer supported and will not be updated. I wish I had a fix for this but it's entirely likely that your version of YAF is not compatible with Impex. Sorry.

Ensure you have this set :

define('lowercase_table_names', false);

in ImpExConfig.php

[16volt]

yep, that's set.
we are going to upgrade the yaf to the lastest version and try it again.
