it seems the database i told it in the merdge script got my current db cloned to it.. It totaly confused me. I might have to look at the code to see whats up, but correct me if im wrong. The database name i specify in the merdge script is the database i want to copy to that current forums.

also i don't have access to my php ini file to disable magic quotes. is there a way to de-activate it via php coding?

Does having MySQL 4 have anything to do with this script not working? It's worked for me in the past on a MySQL 3 server.

I think the beta has a big bug.. use the non-beta.

Kiind of a serious bug don't you think :S ;)

I used it and it worked great except this TINY problem we have now.

If anyone knows the answer to above problem please tell me my forum is down because of this and I got cranky members.

/me won't be able to see any answers till sunday night

Just a silly question. did you have backups of both systems? If so then i suggest restoring it back to normal.

personally i would have tested it out on a test site prior to a live site. but that is just me. I am still trying to iron out bugs and issues that it is creating on the test site of mine.

/grumbles

I guess I'll try to restore the backup

is this hack will work for future vB3?

thanks.

Last night i tried to run the script to import a board with 120'000 postings. The result was an overload of mysql (to many open connections, >200).

Also i was wondering that i didn't get any status back just klicked on start import and then wait to restart mysql....

Any idea ?
