XF 2.2 Problem path to import xenforo to xenforo

[Ricsca]

I need to import another xf 2.2 forum to 2.2 but I don't understand what it means
Data directory : ../xfbb/data
Internal data directory : ../xfbb/internal_data

but then I get the following error

The directory ../xfbb/data does not contain the expected contents.

I entered the path of the old forum (and database of the new one) and the import worked... I didn't have any avatars or attachments in the forum to copy.
Is it a bug?

does this help ?

Sorry, I am not in a position at the moment to go beyond those basics, due family and business commitments taking up all my time. Its usually a permissions issue of some kind, and the Xenforo error logs will usually say if the files couldn't be read.

Anyway, thank you.

I contacted tech support and unfortunately they didn't help me, but my colleague found what the problem was.

It turns out the Internal Data directory should be /www/wwwroot/old.example.com/internal_data/

Why this error was not pointed out by tech support remains a mystery, perhaps they are very busy before...
