XF 2.0 Error in Import

[djbaxter]

Received this error importing from vB4.2.5 while processing Posts:

 [InvalidArgumentException]
  Received invalid UTF-8 for string column [message]

  [InvalidArgumentException]
  Received invalid UTF-8 for string column [message]

How do I resolve this?

 

[djbaxter]

The coding for the entire vBulletin database including the posts table is actually latin_swedish_ci

No encoding is specified in the vB config.php file.

I did a check repair on the posts table.

Ran the import again. Same error:

 [InvalidArgumentException]
  Received invalid UTF-8 for string column [message]

  [InvalidArgumentException]
  Received invalid UTF-8 for string column

Any suggestions?

 

[djbaxter]

I tried changing the encoding for the source database to latin_swedish_ci in the import configuration, since it seemed to be looking for UTF-8.

Ran the import again. Same errors.

It always occurs at the same point, around post 2,948,173 or 71.12% of the table. That's not necessarily the post ID of course, so it doesn't really help but it's consistent. phpMyAdmin finds no errors in the table (I ran repair three times as well).

I'm pretty much stumped now. Don't know what else to try.

i think you'd better to create a ticket to get faster response.
