XF 2.2 Importing from SMF 2.1 - open_basedir problem

[voom]

I tried to import from SMF 2.1.2, but always run into open_basedir errors.

Originally I installed XF into a different "webspace" in Plesk, than where SMF is. So I thought that might be the reason. But then I reinstalled it under the same webspace and the errors were identical. Now it is back in the other webspace.

I thought I'd give up on the import, but after reading that SMF 2.1 should work, I want to try to solve the open_basedir issue.

Any ideas?

Disable or change the open_basedir restrictions.

Your host will be able to assist if you don't know how to do that.

I tried that, using some helpfiles. I could not quite figure it out. (This is a cloudserver with Linux root and Plesk, so I am more or less on my own with this.)

When I tried, the error showed the changes I made, including the base folder of that SMF installation, but still said it was not allowed

Plesk? Try and see if you have something like this:

kind of the same, with pictures.

Thank you, that was kind of counter-intuitive.

But now I get the next error:

That looks like the importer hasn't been updated for 2.1 since that looks to me like it's looking for the location field that used to be a hard-coded profile field but as of 2.1 isn't any more.

 

[voom]

People reported, that they could successfully import from SMF 2.1.

I tried to import without custom profile fields, but the error remains. Is there anything I can do, to fix it myself? I need not import the profile fields. Priority are Posts.

Some stuff was imported, before it broke off. I got user groups and profile fields, including "Location".
