Thank you John,
You’re right. At somem point I used a script to change the database to UTF8 (c22.php).
I have also some trouble migrating to new versions of ipb and have to ask for support each time I want to update now…
I have to figure out this issue before trying to go further with bbpress.
How can I be sure that the 29299th line in the importation is the ‘good‘ one as long as I import my database 100 lines at a time?
Even if it is the one I have to delete, I see no problem to do so, but how can I find this line ? Do I have to look for the 29299th line in the ‘ipb_posts’ table? If yes, how can I do (I know nothing about SQL…)?
Thank you again
Unfortunately i got a problem with the import scripts. Everything went well but it got stuck on the 29299th line of replies conversion…
Everything went well. Now Ihave to see what happened exactly and what to correct, but the importation worked.
Thank you again for your help.
We do not support connecting to remote databases
That’s the point!! I didn’t see this before…
I tried to migrate from my actual IPB forum to my bbPress forum on another server. So, i’m going to export my IPB forum from my actual server to the new one and do the bbPress import once again (it should work). Thanks a lot for your help.
I did everything you said but I keep failing… the only thing I read on my screen is:
No stickies to stick
No topics to convert
No forum parents to convert
No forums to convert
No passwords to clear
No users to convert
No data to clean
Even with my local installation (which works fine)
Thus it is advisable to setup a local MAMP/XAMPP install and perform an import on your local machine
Very good idea. I’m gonna try this solution, because I have already used the optimization tools on the database (with PHPMyadmin).
Thank you again and i’ll keep you updated
Do you think there is a limit with database size? There is almost 100,000 posts and the database is bigger than 350 Mb
Thank you for your quick answer.
Nevertheless, that’s exactly what I do. I’ve taken all information from my invision config file… with the server url (which is different from ‘localhost’).
