Sounds like you chose to maintain IDs while you had data in the install. You will need to do a fresh install and restart the import with the correct settings. If you're maintaining the IDs, you can't add ANY data.

He means database IDs.

 

[Jeremy]

IDs are Identification numbers, it internally refers to something. This thread is ID #54,873. But if it were imported into another forum, it may become ID #50,000 depending on how many threads are deleted. If you choose to keep IDs, you cannot have anything in your install, since IDs will already be utilized and cannot be reused again.

You need to do a fresh install of XenForo (so the database has no content in it and the ID's can be copied over successfully). Then start the import again and make sure you retain imported content ID's. Your fresh install of XenForo should not and cannot contain data (threads, conversations, etc) before you import your vB4 data.

 

[nguyenhuuhung]

You need to do a fresh install of XenForo.

How do I do??
Please guide me step by step

I just started using XenForo..

Drop your current XenForo database, recreate it and then begin XF installation and then your import with a blank default install XF database if I remember correctly.

[Paul B]

You will have to start again.

Read this: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/importing-guidelines.25325/

If you have 3,000 threads and over 6,000 posts that you do not want to delete (and are not from a previous failed import), you will need to import and not keep IDs. After that you will need to place redirection scripts in place.

 

[nguyenhuuhung]

I understanded This Error.
I will Install New xenforo And Run vb4 importer to convert vbb database to xenforo database.

@Brogan @Tracy Perry Thanks a lot.!!

I want use This Xenforo Database to convert.Because,I installed many addon.
But,when i use this xenforo data.Have error.So,i created This Topic

 

[Jeremy]

If you are merging forums, you will be unable to keep the current IDs as they are in vBulletin. You will need to run the imported without that option turned on. You will need to use vBulletin redirection scripts to redirect users from the old URLs to the new URLs.

At the end of your import, make sure you save your import_log so that redirect scripts will work correctly.

Thanks
Can i redirect IDs???What addon I use to redirect?? Can You send this addon to me.

 

[Jeremy]

It depends on your URL structure.

 

[nguyenhuuhung]

It depends on your URL structure.

I want to keep IDs.Because,google indexed over 90.000 URLs my web.I don't want when convert to xenforo.Link will die.(if i don't keep IDs, IDs changed.)

 

[Jeremy]

As stated, if you want to merge the two forums, you must import using new IDs. Redirection scripts will cause Google to update their indexes for content and those URLs already indexed will redirect to the proper pages in XenForo.

The URL structure is different between XenForo and vBulletin, Google will need to reindex regardless of keeping the same IDs or not.
