XF 1.1 vB Import Issues

[PetSue]

I am having issues getting past the 1st step in importing our board with the returned error each time of - "The table prefix or database name is not correct."

I know the DB name & user are correct but seems I'm stuck at the Table Prefix & Force Character Set.

Tabe Prefix = $config['Database']['tableprefix'] = '';

Force Character Set = $config['Mysqli']['charset'] = 'utf8';

That's what I gleaned from the config.php.

is that right or have I entered the wrong details?

Thank you

You have entered the wrong details.

You need to enter the database name and prefix of your existing vB database.
You can check that in cPanel/phpMyAdmin.

Thank you brogan and understand a little of your reply all except for the prefix as checked cPanel and it showed no prefix that I was aware of unless I mis read it.

I'm not familiar with vB as I have never used it, but it may be the case that there is no prefix so just leave it blank.

EDIT - Ok have worked it my bad I was using the XenForo DB and not the vBulletin one, my apologies
