Ok, scratch this, it took a while, but it synced. Still wondering what triggers the sync.

What would be the update rate? Because I tried and it looks like events where'd imported after initial import.

The the events backend under iCalendar there is a nice button that triggers the refresh/new import for new events from a ical file. I've checked but the link produced is locked to a user. So I can't trigger it with a simple old fashioned crondjob. Is there a way to do this without the user locked key? There is Zapier, but we don't want to use that. Why? Because it's another service we need to keep up and we have everything we need to do it ourselves. Cronjob is also being used for the tasks, so why not just add this in as well?

Ah yeah, thanks @Jim M Because the moderator roles where unrestricted I was able to see the posts, I've changed those settings and now I can only see what is allowed. Thanks again!

There is no group that allows seeing posts from other people. Group (id=7) has access to forum (id=146) can post and see own topics. But is not allowed to see others topics. I've updated the login info, if you need any further information, please let me know.

Looks like I don't

I'm setting up a locked off "questions" part on our dev forum and I notice that the Administrator is allowed to access this part of the forum even tough it doesn't have permissions to do anything with it. If I do the same thing with a normal discussion forum and turn off the permissions for the Administrator the Administrator can't see it. These are 2 very different behaviors and I'm wondering if that's intentional or accidental. Settings: Front end: Top topic is made by a different user so expected would be that the Admin (me) could not see it. This is a Discussion board with the same settings: It should NOT be underneath the "contact" category, so it works as expected: Am I missing a setting? Is this something that works as expected? If so, why does this type of board have a different behavior as the other types?

Well that last bit... that's it hahaha It's working now, we moved the files over from the old server to the new one and it's going. I was about the post a reply we found the issue.

Yes, using the tool for MyBB 1.8 and current board version is MyBB 1.8.30. If I knew what the fields would output, that would help a lot. There is a check or at least I guess it looks for files and can't find anything. Is there a pre check or does it instantly start downloading but can't and gives an error? EDIT: I did check beforehand with the compatibility checker which was 100% OK. But could it be a file size issue that throws this error? Yes, I tried, didn't solve the issue. But thanks again!

Fun fact, I am my hosting company haha. We host our own servers. I can access all files in any way I want, but the migration tool can't. So this is a tool issue.

Already know my absolute path, but thanks!

Permissions should be correct I think, they are 775 for the folders on the files they are 664. Owner is www-data so that should be correct as well. We don't have any issues in daily use for our current forum with that at least. In the db everything points to the relative location, so the ./ Could it be the tool isn't happy with linked folders? We have our "software" files on a different location for our current forum. It's placed in a user share. But if I use that path /usr/share/nginx/groups/501st/DutchGarrison/dg_forum it doesn't do anything either. I would love to see what the output is from the location fields so I could troubleshoot this. Maybe it's doing something like /var/www/dg_forum/./uploads which of course won't work.

There are a few fields within mybb that ask for paths, but those pretty much show the same routes or at least the relative paths. Those don't work for me.

Installation went pretty smoothly but the conversion from the old to the new board has issues with the image paths. I've given the full path to, the MyBB install, the image folder, avatars folder, what ever folder I could think of. I've searched the forums here and only found questions about how to solve this whiteout answers. The explanation underneath the fields: Would say that's pretty spot on. (also without the slash) Did anyone find the solution for this? Thanks!
