Error 1046 and ImpExConfig.php question...
 

ImpEx is up and running fine. I am on step one and I got the 1046 error. I have searched this forum for 1046 errors and I see that, according to help offered to others, I have "not edited the db info in ImpExConfig.php correctly".

First let me say that I DO understand that you guys don't know what my correct values should be, but...

...in the $impexconfig['source']['database'] and [target] lines, I have my target database listed as "forums" because that's what I named my vB database on the server. But I noticed that everyone else who posted their ImpExConfig.php file has something like "xxxx_forums".

I believe this is called a table prefix?

The source database is the same way. In my case, the data base is named "ransclan" but I'm wondering if I need a table prefix and how I might find that?

Thank you again for you help!

Here's a copy and paste of my ImpExConfig.php file...

$impexconfig['target']['server'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['target']['user'] = 'ransclan';
$impexconfig['target']['password'] = 'xxxxxxx';
$impexconfig['target']['database'] = 'forums';
$impexconfig['target']['tableprefix'] = '';

# If the system that is being imported from uses a database,
# enter the details for it here and set 'sourceexists' to true.
# If the source data is NOT stored in a database, set 'sourceexists' to false

$impexconfig['sourceexists'] = true;

####
#
# SOURCE - The source is the old forum database (where the data is coming from)
#
####

# mysql / mssql
$impexconfig['source']['databasetype'] = 'mysql';
$impexconfig['source']['server'] = 'localhost';
$impexconfig['source']['user'] = 'ransclan';
$impexconfig['source']['password'] = 'xxxxxxxx';
$impexconfig['source']['database'] = 'ransclan';
$impexconfig['source']['tableprefix'] = '';
