Hello! This message to all vBulletin great hackers and simply hackers at all :)
vBulletin board has a really great problem - it can not restore db itself!
Ok, my hoster always do backup for me and he can restore it, but it much more easily to do it myself.
!! Do you know some script as in phpBB to restore db?
in phpBB admin has link "RESTORE DATABASE"
! May be someone could? Heh. It 'll be realy GREAT!

um, er....

This is a vB group, not a phpbb one. I think it would be inappropriate to try to support phpbb. I recommend you check at www.phpbb.com and www.phpbbhacks.com for phpbb support.

i have a vb2.2.9 with over 200 000 posts.

can i do this with this script ? i dont want lose my datas in the vb229

Cyc: hmm...my copy of phpBB never did that...on the other hand, I don't exactly keep it updated ;) Maybe they do that in the newer versions.

Wells: try phpMyAdmin.

Molok: yes you can. My importer can merge databases. But, as always, back up your database(s) first.

mySQL Database Error!

Script That Crashed: phpBB2 Importer
Script Returned: Couldn't Select DB (I didn't leave it here for security reasons)
mySQL Said: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database '(removed for security reasons)(Error Number 1044)
Date of Error: February 22nd, 2003 at 2:50 PM
URL of Script: /board/importers/bbimport_phpbb2.php

That's the error I get.

in your vBulletin config.php file, you need to specify a mySQL username ;)

I have.... What should I do now?

run the importer again ;)

I have used the importer a few times and I still get the same error :(

oh...sorry, I think I know the problem. Use the file in the first thread, not the one towards the end. The one (v0954) is experimental.
