Importing problem

I recently got my SMF database converted to IPB 3.3 by my friend and now I am trying to convert it to Xenforo.
I am getting an error when I import user groups

" Server Error

How can I solve it?

 
Duplicate entry '5' for key 'PRIMARY'

If you have phpMyAdmin have a look at the field that the PRIMARY key is built on.

Whatever it is (usergroup ID maybe?) there appear to be two or more with the same value ...'5' ... and the import appears to be wanting unique values.

Cheers,
Shaun :D
 
Normally this is caused by enabling the option to preserve the source ids while importing into an already populated XF database. ie you created groups in XF beyond the default groups, then imported with the source id option enabled. The XF forum needs to be empty to use the source id option. Otherwise you can get collisions like this.
 
Ah, yes, sorry, hadn't thought about it that way - so if the XF default ID's already exist ... the incoming usergroups with the same ID's will clash and halt the process. Nice one Jake. (y)

Thanks Jake.I had created another usergroup other than the default.When I deleted it.It worked.

First I was getting the same error as this person in this thread http://xenforo.com/community/threads/conversion-from-ip-board.33832/#post-385776

I followed your steps.Now I am getting this error in "Import Threads and Posts"

How can I fix this?
 
The XF forum should have no threads or posts, otherwise you can get collisions like with the usergroups. Try deleting any threads / posts on your forum.
I searched every board and every sub-board.There was one thread.I pressed the delete button and I got an error.Now I searched for it and it is gone.I double checked.But still,I am getting the error.
 
What was the error on delete?

More generally, I recommend importing into a brand new XF forum without any content. Or run the import without enabling the option to preserve the source ids. That will avoid these errors.

I have successfully completed the import.I created another user and gave him admin positions.Then I logged in from that account then I saw a thread which said that is visible to admins and moderators.I deleted it and it worked.
The error I got was "Your not allowed to delete".Do you know why I had got that before?Since I was the admin I am allowed to delete.
