  • Look in the GDN_User table. The column count doesn't match the list of fields the program wants to insert into the table, in other words, there's a list of fields that wants to be inserted into the table, UserID, Name, Email, etc. Let's say that the total of fields is 15. The program VanillaPorter most likely then wants to insert 14 fields.

    Compare the list of fields from your error message with the list of fields in your phpMyAdmin. There is a difference. Find that difference.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

  • hmm the problem is two values for HashMethod

    see

    i.`HashMethod`, 'vBulletin' as HashMothod
    

    @Todd

    grep is your friend.

  • I tried to make a new export and I noticed at the top of page result this:


    create index ix_thread_firstpostid on vBul_thread (firstpostid);Duplicate key name 'ix_thread_firstpostid'
    Notice: Duplicate key name 'ix_thread_firstpostid' in /var/www/vhosts/spqrclan.com/httpdocs/vanillaforums/vanilla2export.php on line 1303


    This may be the problem or not?

  • I would wait for todd to reply, you probably will have to drop that index.

    That's a nifty way of making screenshots. By now, the only person I have seen using that technique was my mum... ;)
