Fixed Import Error

[Venthas]

Got this running the import from Invision 4.5.4 to Xenforo. Any ideas?

This appears to occur in the middle of importing members.

importing with xenforo 1 or xenforo 2?

What version of PHP are you running? Is it PHP 8? At this point, I'd likely recommend running 7.4 instead as this error should just be a notice there, which would probably let the import continue. (Though there might be similar errors logged.)

This may be an IPS 4.5-specific error as well -- it's possible they have changed the related data structures. We might need to get a copy of your data to do some testing. I'm not sure if that's viable.

This was originally posted with a prefix. This is for 2.2.

Running php 7.3. The data would be...quite large. Compressed, the /uploads/ folder is about 350 GB on my local hard drive.

It would just be the database which is required - not the server files.

That would be relatively easy to get to you, then. Just let me know if it's needed.

Just updated XAMPP to use 7.4, and am receiving a different error:

lower your php version to 7.2

lower your php version to 7.2

Nope, same error message.

 

[Mike]

Sorry, I misread the error -- thought it was something that PHP 8 bumped up to a warning from a notice, but it's not.

To debug this, I'd need temporary access to a dump of the database or FTP/similar access to an import that's currently blocked by the error. If you can help with this, please submit a ticket via your customer area with those details in the sensitive data area and reference this thread.

Alright, thanks! Ticket has been submitted.

 

[XF Bug Bot]

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XFI release (1.4.1).

Change log:

Prevent an error when importing from IPS if a user has an empty set of admin permissions.

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
