Re: OpenImporter with SMF 2.1 ?
Reply #4 –
So I downloaded the .zip from GitHub, expanded it into a directory and then ftp'd it into the root of the ElkArte install on the server (FileZilla).
Then I ran the import.php and in the next screen I corrected the default paths. At first I entered the source db password, was rejected in the next step, then entered the destination db password (I feel this step could be presented more explicitly, but that might be just me ), was accepted, looked at the long list of tables to be imported (not all applicable to my case, as my SMF 2.1 b2 is pretty much stock install, yet I changed nothing) - BUT after that:
Sorry, the database connection information used in the specified installation of your forum cannot access the installation of SMF 2.0. This may either mean that the installation doesn't exist, or that the MySQL account used does not have permissions to access it.
The error MySQL gave was: SELECT command denied to user 'elkartedbusernamename'@'someip' for table 'smf_members''
error_line 329
error_file /pathtoelkarteroot/importer/OpenImporter/Importer.php
Need to add that after somewhat hurriedly looking for a OI user guide and finding none, I decided to risk it without. This is how far I got. How do I proceed from here?
Edit: I have smf 21b2 and elkarte105 hosted basically as sub-folders in a common folder where all my stuff relating to testing is installed, and this is on a shared Linux account on GoDaddy. Also, when I set up the db for smf I chose not to allow direct access. Hope these details may be of help.
