Hi,

I've just set up a new test server last night and installed the latest self-hosted version of IPB. This morning I went to login to the AdminCP and it won't accept my user/password. I can login to the forum and can access ModeratorCP. 

I get the following error:

Sorry, you do not have permission for that!

2S119/1 Something went wrong. Please try again.

If anyone can offer any guidance it would be much appreciated.

 

thanks

Russ

 

 

I've just entered them again on the Stored Access Information page.

 

Thanks Marc,

How do I reset the details? 

Have tried that, but still get the following when trying the AdminCP :

 

(Note: If I enter an incorrect password I still get the same error)

Sure, done!

Sorry, no, it's the test URL.

 

 

 

Marc,

I installed this copy fresh last night. It worked at the time, I cannot log in today. I wanted to do a test conversion on a new server away from a live site.

I have a very established (>16 years) site running on XenForo that I was looking to move across to IPB.

If you won't offer support, this does not fill me with confidence that making this move would be a wise choice for us.

Thanks Marc, I installed Firefox and managed to log in OK, so there must be something in Chrome cache that's causing the problem.

I appreciate the difference between supporting test and live sites. But for people like us, with established forums on other platforms it's crucial that we are able to perform test runs before migrating a live site.

My other question was your documentation points towards converting another platform's data and that this data needs to be on the same server.

Currently I have taken on another server with a different host and would like to test import the data away from the live site. Is this possible? 

I did something similar when I first moved to IPB. Export the database and move the complete board file structure to the new server. 

Basically you have your real site exported to the new different host and put IP on that same one.  Now at that point you have both on the same hardware. 🙂 

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Does IPB keep the existing XF file system structure or will it create a copy as it converts? Will I need double the disk space?

Conversions copy data from your source dataset, it does not change it in anyway. So yes, make sure you've got enough disk space!

OK, I have copied across my db and the file structure from Xenforo.

I have run the conversion tool and everything went OK so far.

I'm now at the stage where I need to run all the background jobs.

Currently, I have reached my maximum disk size limit. Is it OK to now delete my Xenforo folder (>60GB) to free up some space?

Thanks
