Okay... this is my UB2k 2.2.x to vBulletin 2.0.x importer. It can import styles (= skins), users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages.

This Importer has been created for vBulletin 2.0.3! The most things work correctly with 2.2.x (it will import the styles, users, forums, moderators, posts and private messages) but some features like setting new passwords for admins doesn't work. I don't want to create a new version as I don't think there are many UB2k users left who could import...

This script does not work with the vB import system as I wanted to have it independent of the vB directory (some servers are not able to read files in directories like ../../ub2k/). You can upload the script to any directory where you can access the UB2k directory and the vBulletin database.

A manual is in the zip file. Please do not email or pm me if you have questions or found bugs. Please simply answer the thread.

Known bugs:
- On some servers you need to chmod the directory "ubimporter" to 777...

Mmh,

1)I have 3 or even four backups, cause I'm making backups every few weeks.

2)I didn't compress the backups. This compress-function actually never worked on my system

3)I double checked the path...it's okay.

Any idea what I could try next?

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it!

Could you please post the path?

matde · #**144** 12-16-2001, 06:49 PM

Sure,

the absolute path I am using is:
/homepages/11/d16108769/htdocs/

the path to my Private folder is:
/homepages/11/d16108769/htdocs/cgi-bin/forum223/Private

Thanks for your help,

well... yes, that should work. Could you pm me the UB2k url, the vB url and the ftp data, then I will try it...

pm was sent!

I'm running into a problem using this import tool.

Everything works fine up until it starts importing posts. In the initial run, I selected 250 posts, at around post 249, it had a memory error.

In subsequent runs, I tried not importing the forums, but importing the posts only. I get a message "Importing forum 20..." and then nothing.

Any ideas GC?

Try to do only 100 posts and 5 forums per cycle. You will have to click on "next" very often but some servers there's no other way...

ptenthus · #**149** 01-21-2002, 07:56 PM

Tried just one small board, 50 posts at a time.

Same result.

Could you take a look, or tell me where I might see any error that it is running into?

Thanks.
