i made dump on linux (fud 2.7.5) and i tried restore it to winxp (fud 2.7.5) but after it some tables are empty (but on linux they weren't):
`fud26_index`
`fud26_level`
`fud26_mime`
`fud26_msg`
`fud26_pmsg`
`fud26_read`
`fud26_search`
`fud26_smiley`
`fud26_themes`
`fud26_thread`
`fud26_thread_notify`
`fud26_title_index`
`fud26_users` (cause of it i even cannot login)

some other previously existing tables weren't created:
`fud26_fl_[n]`
`fud26_tv_[n]`
where [n] are the numbers

and in fields `fud26_attach.location` where are paths to files... paths weren't upgraded to current paths on the new server

Whats wrong Question

Question

That's very annoying Sad

1.7.5? Wow that's a really old version, have you considered upgrading to something a bit more recent?

Did you run the consistency checker after the import (you can make it run via command line by commenting out a few lines near the top of the file) ?

So... I imported database from previous server by phpmyadmin and changed patches to attachments in notepad (in exported table).
And forum works fine Smile

Smile

However would it made any sens to run consistency checker if tables like smileys, themes or users weren't imported (after importing datadump they were empty) Question

Question

ps: firstly i restored by hand users table and after running consistency checker my mysql server hanged up (hope correctly written Wink

Some tables contain cached data and therefor are not imported, consistency checker will rebuild the cache and restore those tables and their data as needed.

Some tables you mentioned should've definitely had entries in them. Have you tried grepping the data dump to see if the data was there?

Would it be possible to get a copy of the dump? From your description it would appear that there is a bug with the import script.

Maybe... But it was only testing, because i moved 2.6.x (i don't remember x Wink

Wink

) year ago and in the result most posts were mixed between many forums Sad

So I wanted to test if it happen again. The good thing is, that yesterday i tried the same dump on linux and it worked OK. Only paths to attachments weren't changed and i had to do this by hand. I sent you needed info about dump via PM.

As far as attachments go there is actually a code bit inside admimport.php script to deal with that, so I'll need to see why it did not work.

Did the Windows machine where you attempted to perform the import use the same MySQL/PHP versions?

linux (old server) <=> win <=> linux (new server)
Apache 1.3.37 <=> 1.3.29 <=> 1.3.37
PHP 4.4.4 <=> 4.3.4 <=> 4.4.4
MySQL 4.0.27-standard <=> MySQL 3.23.58 <=> 4.1.21-standard
There's only big diffrence is mysql version...
I forgot one thing. In smiley table I changed length of code field to 255. I hope it doesn't matter while making/importing datadump.

The file path issue was resolved, patch can be found here:
http://cvs.prohost.org/c/index.cgi/FUDforum/chngview?cn=11618

I suspect it happened because the theme building failed (when I tried to import your dump into 2.7.6 it failed due to a missing message entry) and the path correction code was never reached. I've now moved it up, so it happens right after the import of data to be independent of the theme building process.

Ilia,
My forum is unable to use the admexport/import processes, and when I recently moved it I was unable to keep the file path the same for the attachment directory. It would be nice if the check and fix for the correct attachment filepath could be added to the forum consistency check, or given its own admin process.

Hello,
Sorry it took so long for me to see this message. I currently use a version of 2.7.7 which I have customized - my changes affect the database and some of the scripts. I think FUDforum was at 2.7.5 when I started. When Ilia puts out a new release I reincorporate my changes and build them on a test forum before copying them over to my live one.

I think my script problems may have been related to the size of the database. Hitting either size or processing limits on the server installation would kill the scripts. But, I just gave up on them. I use phpmyadmin to backup the database, and FTP to backup the files.
