XF 2.2 Xenforo Import to Another Xenforo

[questlot]

I want to import existing xenforo 1 forum to existing Xenforo 2nd forum. What am i supposed to enter in the data directory and internal data directory?

I guess the path to those folders, often /data and /internal_data if XenForo is installed at your root domain.

It is a relative path from the existing installation to the installation being imported.

If you aren't sure what that is, navigate to /admin.php?tools/phpinfo in the installation being imported and search for DOCUMENT_ROOT to get the absolute path and use that.

to get the absolute path and use that

And add /data et /internal_data at the end i guess?

 

[Paul B]

Yes.

Xenforo is installed in my root folder. Can you tell me the exact directory name to enter for
Data directory
Internal data directory

Thanks

We cannot know for you, do as Brogan told you to find out.

From my DOCUMENT_ROOT, i got /home/domainname/domains/domainname.com/private_html

On the last two section of the import i entered

/home/domainname/domains/domainname.com/data

/home/domainname/domains/domainname.com/internal_data

I got this error:

Oops! We ran into some problems.
ErrorException: [E_WARNING] file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

Maybe am getting something wrong.

You must set the open_basedir setting to none in your hosting administration panel (Plesk / cPanel ?).
