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:

Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error:

mysql error number: 0

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

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?

h

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.

Maybe I am entering the info in these fields wrong.

The other values are the same database username and database password you use on config.php.

And the Database Name is the name of the database you want to merge.

Yes I did that exactly like that.
Is there anyway you can look at it?

That's weird... Send me a PM with the details of your forum admin cp...

You have a PM.

Read my response.

I keep getting this error:


h

You're not typing the right values for the database you want to merge, and hence, the script cannot connecto to it.



If you want, send me your details such as admincp login/password and username, password and database name of the database you want to merge and I should be able to tell you what's the problem.

excellent hacc, installed

NOTE

combined 232 to 229 all users and post went over fine
attachments were corrupted.

Due to restrictions on my server, I'm not able to create new MySQL databases. This being the case, I only have two dumps of the forums I'd like to combine, but I have no way to load them to real databases. If I sent someone the dump files, would anyone be able to do this for me?

h

Umm...... I'll have to take a look to the attachments routines... Sorry for that.

Why don't you do this on your own computer? Install mysql and php, install a local copy of vbulletin, upload both databases to your mysql server and run the merge.

If you don't know how to install mysql and php and all that stuff, try to browse this forums or search on http://www.google.com ... There are plenty of places where you will find some very good tutorials about it.

Are you going to make the hack for vb3 databases and release it when RC is out?

Julian, I was able to install locally, but even when entering (what I believe was) the correct information in your file, I still get that error I previously posted. What, and where exactly am I supposed to enter the DB information?

h

Would it be possible for me to create a new forum on my main vbulletin board, and have all the merged posts go into that forum?

Oh my goodness, thank you so very much. :)

I will try it very soon. WOO!

Was that polls bug ever fixed?

Im having a few problems marging my db. THe user merge doesnt seem to add any users at all(atleast to the post count), and neither does the forum merge(it will start merging then hang there refershing, the startat var keesp going up though. and the pm merge does the same thing.. I had to edit the file directly and add the database info to the file as well or else i would get the mysql error hocky got.

Im using vbulletin 2.3.0

I found a bug on the poll merger and I think I fixed it successfully. Try it on your localhost.

was my problem addressed?

Will this work with vb2.3.0 to vb3.0gamma?

Is there a way to make it so the forum i want to import goes all into one category on my exisiting forum?

I have a quick question. Hopefully someone can answer it.

I have two forums. They are both on different hosts and servers. Is it possible to merge the forums, without moving them onto the same host and server?

I believe so, just go to the forum you want to merge everything into and run the import script and from there put in the ip or host of the other server along with user/pass info and ya should be good.

Hallo Julian,

ich mu? jetzt hier mal in deutsch posten, dazu ist mir das Thema zu heikel, ich bekomme genau diesen Fehler hier wie andere auch.

hi julian,

sorry for my bad english, but i will try my best. the problem is that i get the same errors like the others before

der reale Datanbank Name ist aber paradise-of-emotions_net auf localhost

die 2 Datenbanken liegen auf meinen Server, was also mach ich den falsch.

the real database name is paradis ... on local host (hust lool)
the 2 databases are on my server, so what do i wrong?

gr??e subu1

how you renamed it :-)

Now what i would like to know! dose the VB 2.3.2 can be marged with VB 3.0.0 RC3 or it can't ?? :ermm:

I am very interested in a vb3-Version.

Any chance ?

Question, too tired to read EVERY page but:

If you import the members where to their posts go cause the forums dont have the same like forum names so where do theirt posts go. Do you just import the members and they start with no posts again. If so that is fine as i dont mind just curious!

id like this too :)
