How to merge dB into my xenforo forum

[Carlos X]

Not going to lie a little lost can I just install it on a subdomain? Or a different root folder In my ftp?

Yes, different root folder. You don't even need a subdomain, just go to the path. E.G. domaindotcom/YOURFILEHERE

For example, if your path is public_html/YOURROOTdomain, create a new folder under public_html, and make your file something like "dotgician" to help you understand that - that's where your new database goes...

So, if your path going to be public_html/CODForums then your URL destination would be "domaindotcom/CODForums"

This is the error I keep getting to trying to import. I installed it on a subdomain temp.domain

 

[Dotgician]

Okay so I fixed that problem but now I get an error message that says


Oops! We ran into some problems.

• You may only import from XenForo 2.
• The directory /home/commgiant/public_html/temp/data does not contain the expected contents.

Okay so I figure out that but I can not seem to get passed the The directory ../public_html/data does not contain the expected contents. I do not have the files anymore is that going to be a problem?

I told you. Just create the expected "contents" by creating that file.

XF thinks you don't have the internal_data/data files on the server. The way to solve it, and this is confirmed by XF devs: Just create the file.
You won't have the avatars/attachments, but at least you have the database.
