Import errors :: Post yours here

I am importing a vb 3.8 and everything has gone fine... PM's VM's but it has bombed out at threads and posts and will not continue

All I get is the text 'A server error occurred. Please try again later.' shown within the forum skin.

Is there way to output more detailed error information?

I have zero lines in my server error log file either just in case anyone wonders - it did a fair few thousand threads before crashing too.

steven.... can I ask if you are importing from your live database and is your forum open during this process? I have a feeling that data changing in the database might be the cause - I'm gonna do a re-run tomorrow with live forum turned off to be sure

guys, please add this line to your library/config.php file at the very end:-
$config['debug'] = true;

Kire / Mike if it helps here is a more detailed log:-

When I use the importer from 3.7/3.8, and it tells me that my attachments and avatars are stored on the local file system, and I need to specify where they are, am I to assume that I need to copy my attachments and customavatars directory somewhere where xenforo can find them?

I wished there'd be an option to ignore attachments and/or avatars just to test the database import of users, but its nice that attachments and custom avatars can be imported from the file system.

just put the full server path to those folders - Dont copy anything.

eg. var/www/vhosts/yoursite/httpdocs/customavatars for instance

Yes, I did that, but my xenforo installation isn't on the same server as my vb installation. I was just confused about the option, but I'll try copying those directories to my xenforo installation.

Kier & Mike .... I think all of these are caused by certain characters that maybe you have not accounted for hope this helps,
