Hello,

I have tried all day to import a phpbb forum but i always get this message:
Evrything can be found and is in place....
Error
  • The table prefix or database name is not correct.
  • The attachments directory could not be found.
  • The avatars directory could not be found.
 
Your forum seems fine if it's the one in your signature.

However, the errors you reported in your first post are definitely because the data that you provided isn't correct. You likely need to provide the full paths to both directories. The also you could connect with the DB info you gave, but it can't find phpBB data there.

No, this is the testlink: http://www.robbydeletter.info/xenforo/
The credentials are correct because the forum works on phpbb here-->http://www.robbydeletter.info/phpbb3/
I used the same database name, pasword etc.
 
Well, your XenForo config.php doesn't have the correct details, as this is your error at the test board:
Access denied for user 'robbydel_robby'@'localhost' to database 'robbydel_xenrelatie'

But regarding phpBB, I'm not saying that your credentials are incorrect as you would get a different error then. Either you specified the wrong database or table prefix as specified. It couldn't find your <prefix>users table.

database is correct and i tried prefix _phpbb and phpbb_
 
You can see your phpBB prefix in your phpBB config.php file.
Ok prefix problem solved but wich path for Custom Avatar Path and Attachment Path when the forum is on:
www.robbydeletter.info/phpbb3 I tried: /phpbb3//images/avatars/upload but doent work getting error: The source database connection details are not correct: Access denied for user 'robbydel_robby'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
 
It's not /public_html because that's not what is actually on your server -- that's just your FTP path because it's "chrooted". Based on what you've shown so far, you can probably use ../phpbb3/images/avatar/upload

Did you tell it to retain IDs? It mentions that you can't do that if you have existing data. You'll need to revert to a backup and redo the import.
