UltraBoard 2.2.x importer released!

Please do not contact me via ICQ, Email, PM or anything other way than this thread any more!

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...

That is where my old Ub2k Board is

http://www.gmpower.net/forums

This is where my new VB board is with nearly 20,000 posts and 800 members

I need the old ub2k data to convert to gmpower.net/forums

I d/l the VB board and uploaded to gapower.net (Grand AM Power) and tried to do the import. This is what I got

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory. in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/gapower.net/httpdocs/ubimport/ubimporter.php on line 424

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/gapower.net/httpdocs/ubimport/ubimporter.php on line 426

Well, it seems you do not have access to the UB2k files - I am not sure what the open_basedir restrictions are... but, maybe, you cannot access the full path. Could you try to use a path like ./cgi-bin/UltraBoard etc.?

[jam583]

I tried many different things with similar results. If you could help me that would be great.. I can give you ad space on the sites or something. I am eager to get this working

It would help to get FTP access to your server and the exact urls and absolute paths...

Is is possible to install a new board on the Ub2k domain and back up VB's board on gmpower.net and use the backup to install it on gapower.net? I'll e-mail you some stuff.

ciao,

is there a way to import the threads (I do not need the members or other stuff) from the personal edition 2.11?
I don´´t want to buy the 2.2x to import the data.

I started a test but the skript don´t accept my /Public directory :-(

There have been some errors...
I need some information where to find the information data. Please use the full path WITHOUT an trailing slash (like /path/to/cgi-bin).
Where is the Private folder (including the /Private)?

I have had read all information and I chmod it all correctly. some ideas to run the import? the file-struktur must be the same, or not?

thank you for your help :-)

As I posted before, I DON'T think it is possible to import any 2.1.x versions as the database format has changed...

Hi,

i have a problem using the import script... It works fine to the step "Select backup". And then there is no backup shown, I could select
There are backups in the /Private/Backups Folder und they are not in tar/gz.
I'm using the 2.23-Version of the Ultraboard, could this be a problem?
ubimporter folder is chmod 777.

Thanks
Thomas

Do you have a UB2K-[number].txt and a directory called UB2K-[number] in you backup directory? If yes, are you sure the ubimporter.php can read this directory?

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I have a UB2K-999898597.log, not a UB2K-(Number).txt and a folder with this number in the Backups Directory.
How can I make this directory readable for the importer. The backups and the importer are both in the same webspace, maybe chmod 777 or something similar ?

Thanks
Thomas
