MyBB Community Forums

Hi,

I'm in the process of mirgrating to your forum software from Vanilla 2.1.11. Everything has been really smooth so far, but now I've run into an error.

I've just completed the database configuration, which was successful. Then I clicked "run" on the option below and I get the error below. I'm not sure if this helps, but none of the other options are letting me run them. I don't believe it should force me to go down the line because the message below asks me to run only the modules I want.

Not sure why, but this query seems to fail: https://github.com/mybb/merge-system/blo...ps.php#L55 Make sure that your old database prefix is correct.

The prefix is correct, I've tried both lowercase (which is what it displays be default) and uppercase "GDN_".

Here's a screenshot of my tables that shows that it does exist, it's the last one. The only difference is that 'roles' has a capital R on the table and a lowercase r in the error message.

Any suggestions?

Let me make sure I've done everything right so far.

1. Downloaded merge_1806.zip
2. Extracted the file, created a folder called "merge"

3. Uploaded this folder with all of it's contents as a root directory to my mybb forums directory.
4. Go to forgehaven.com/bbforums/merge
5. Begin working on the merge.

In the documentation it talks about doing a "dry run", yet I can't seem to proceed without having to put in my database info. So is there a way to do this dry run? Am I doing this right or missing a step?

It may be related to your table names. For some reason the first letter is uppercase (eg GDN_Role) instead of lowercase (eg gdn_role). Have you upgraded from any previous version before?

To add to this, looks like one of the versions of Vanilla does use capitalized table names (ie: GDN_Role versus GDN_role), which is throwing off the script. I can at least verify this in 2.2.
