[Ian S]

hello again doing alot with this atm so please forgive me for all the questions lol
right i tried to us the importer i read how to do it, but i cant get it to import as i get a error, we had a import done ages ago but i want to get it more update date, i filled all parts in ie database name, sysql user, pass etc didnt put anything in table prefixs or bottom line but it says this

Error
The source database connection details are not correct: No such file or directory

both sites share the server and phpmyadmin, the database for xf is there and vb is there but they both seperate

ok looking into this now for when we go live from vb and i recon downtime will be atleast 8 hours, so theres no way of reducing down time, this is preloaded addon and node tree and permissions pre sorted, im talking about importing users, posts, threads, avatars and albums only
