Configure Importer: vBulletin 4.x

[Neutral Singh]

Well, i have two different servers and i want to import vb4 database from another server with the same hosting service provider. What values should i the attached image, so that i can import data from another server? Or the vb4 database has to be on the same server as the xenforo database? Can't wait to play with xenforo, once the import is complete.

What should be the value for MasterServer in the following fields?




Thanks

Usually the vB and XF databases must be on the same server unless the vB database server allows remote connections. But remote is usually slow so it's best to have both databases on the same server.

There are some backup / restore commands here if you want to copy your database over:

Well, i was able to import everything from the importer but now i cannot log in... the administrator user does not exist and the administrator user from vubulletin is not able to login... what could be causing it? Domain: http://www.sikhbusiness.net

If you enabled the option to preserve the source ids then the original XF admin account may have been replaced by the imported vB admin account. Try both accounts.

Here is a way to create a new admin account if you have lost all admin access:
