XF 1.5 Need Help configuring the importer

[Bethk84]

I am in need of help configuring the importer for mybb.

I input the info asked, but came up with an error message. Something about the prefix not being right. Would someone be willing to help me set it up correctly?

Check your conversations - the import is currently waiting to proceed based on the data I entered into the fields.

However, you will likely hit an error due to having already created several forums and categories.
You can correct that by reinstalling - which will of course reset the site back to the default and remove any content or configuration.

would you be able to re-install? Since I had paid for the installation originally, I have no idea how to do that. Would simply deleting the forums work?

 

[Bethk84]

answered my own question. Was able to get it to work by deleting the last of the categories.

Looks like all has imported correctly. As we discussed in email a few days ago, how do I move the xf extension to the main root www.hookedonroleplaying.com? What's the easiest way to uninstall mybb?

Make first a backup of your mybb forum and database, then you can remove its database completely and the same goes for the forum files.

To expand on what I said in the ticket.

1. Move the MyBB files to e.g. /mybb.
2. Move the files in /xf to the root.
3. Update the ACP -> Options -> Board URL to reflect the new location.
