I am trying to convert just now, but have strange error: in part where I must enter "Server Details" (db name, db pw, site URL etc...) - all entered, click Continue, and get this message: No such file or directory

What can this mean? Thanks!

Double check all of the URLs.  There's probably a wrong server path.  

Ok, it was localhost in db server field!)) I must enter db server there instead of localhost. So this is very strange notification about such error. Anyway - thanks!

One more question. I have forum on example/forum directory. Should I install Invision community suite to /forum or to root dir? Thanks!

It's your choice.  Do you want forum at root?

That means when user types in mydomain.com, he will immediately go to your forums.  This is recommended if you only have forums. 

If you have another main section (eg. WordPress), then you can make WordPress in your root and forum in /forum.  

As I mentioned I have forum at /forum, and I want it to stay there. I also have main site, other system. I know Invision has also some front page solutions, or no? I mean Pages. Can they be my front page in future? If yes - should I install Invision Community Suite at / or at /forum?

In your case: better to install in /forums.  Yes, you can use Pages as front page of site in future, but still install in /forums.  

 

Hello! Just bought Invision Community Suite (Forum) and trying to migrate. First was error about path in step where I should enter DB data - resolved by changing localhost to server domain. Now I have two problems that freaks me out. 1st is ACP logging me out each second with this notification: Your IP address does not match this session. Help, 2nd: when I upload .htaccess - I see 500 error at any URL. Please - help!

1. Did you manage with a migration vbulletin - ips4?
2. What does your htaccess file contain?
3. If you are already using ips4 - to remove a cache site without using ACP, make a ftp login and remove all files that have a datastore directory

In addition to Adlago:

1.) Does the vbulletin 3.8 also say domain instead of localhost in the config?

2.) 500 are internal server errors which are normally thrown into the webserver's error logs, what does your webserver logfile say?

You can install your suite at site.com. If you use /forums, your other apps will be based there (site.com/forums/gallery etc) when you really want site com/gallery, site.com/calendar etc. If you use forums as your default app, site.com will load the forums but site.com/forums will still load the content. If you use another app as your default, then site.com/forums will be the address of the Forums app anyway.

1. Yes, I am doing migration.
2. Content 

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   Options -MultiViews
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /forum/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule \.(js|css|jpeg|jpg|gif|png|ico|map)(\?|$) /forum/404error.php [L,NC]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /forum/index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

    

3. I am on vBulletin, I closed it and doing migration

 

I for now changed Check IP address when validating session? to off, so I can migrate. After migration will try to solve this.

1. No, it is server address)
2. I have this and many other logs from SE bots:

   22.02 08:29:38	172.68.239.172	GET / HTTP/1.0" 500 3796 "" "PHP (www.ukraine.com.ua), hosted by www.ukraine.com.ua

    

I upload htaccess in /forum dir and get 500. No data imported yet by converter.

Check htaccess in root

What should I look for? It was not changed. vBulletin worked well. 500 is only appears when I load new htaccess to /forum

htaccess in root affects all subdomains

I deleted root htaccess and still have 500

Now try to start conversion and get this:

Quote

2V101/A IPS\convert\_Library::process: Unknown column 'pf_name' in 'field list'

 

Could you please submit a ticket, so that we can take a look at this:)

I have submitted two tickets already. But where can I monitor them?

Ok I found it Client area - Support

What they say from your host company.
Is it

It is strongly recommended to rewrite URLs if your server supports it.

 

I do not ask anything at my host. I found this error:

/www/forum/.htaccess: Option MultiViews not allowed here

/www/forum/.htaccess: Option MultiViews not allowed here

 

This problem resolved by deleting this line in generated htaccess

Options -MultiViews

Will this deletion cause any new problems in the future?
