i have two vbb 2.2.8 databases on the same server. when i try to start the merge script in the control panel, i get the following error msg:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Warning: Access denied for user: 'p34067380@localhost' (Using password: NO) in /homepages/11/d70604821/htdocs/vbb/admin/db_mysql.php on line 34

Database error in vBulletin Merge Tool 2.2.8:

do i have to edit something in the db_mysql.php? i tried a lot of different stuff, however nothing worked.

Are you sure you're typing the right values for the database you want to merge?

I have my forum on my server, and a database dump of the forum I would like to merge into my forum. Is this the correct way of doing it? And where should I upload this database dump to?

Also, do both mine and his databases have to be the same version of vB? Or can his be older than mine (mine is 2.3.2)?

You should load your dump file to a real mysql database... before starting with the merge you should have two real database... The one you're running at the moment, and the one you want to merge.

I think it shouldn't be a problem if the version of both databases isn't the same.

Just remember, back up your data before proceed and you should be safe :)

How do I do that?



h

mysql -uROOT -p tempdatabase < myotherdump.sql

And the new database with your dump file loaded, is called 'tempdatabase'.

Where do I enter that information?

I am willing to pay someone if they can get this to work on a site for me.
I installed it and the merge user A to user B works but I cannot get the database to merge.
Like I said I am willing to pay (within reason) if someone can help with this.
Thanks in advance.

hockyfan: You should enter that information using SSH. Search the forums if you don't know how to do it.

Quest3DDS: I am sorry the script didn't work for you. I tested it on my local forums and it worked fine. It's a little bit tricky to start using it, but it works for me. What's the exact problem you're having?

I loaded it and the merge user A and B work fine but when I do the Database merge it just sits there ans then anter about 5 minutes I get Page not found like as if I was being directed somewhere else.
