Two installations, embedded in wordpress, stopped working. How to duplicate?

Hi there, so i had two separate instances of Vanilla installed in a folder inside of root (where wordpress is installed). like, forums/one and forums/two. Both were then displayed using the vanilla embed plugin, with the little line of javascript given. It worked perfect. For like 9 months. We didn't update it. Did nothing. Then one day last month it just stopped working. Not just the embeds, cant get to any forum pages. Just get 404's. I see in one of the forums an error log, and an error "class GDN not found.....bootstrap.php on line 47". Nothing on the other forum. I searched for solutions, tried deleting the cache files, nothing is working. So im trying to move on, exported the database with phpmyadmin, did a new install, tried to import the content, got an error about duplicate key. So icreated a new user, deleted the admin i just made so there would be no duplicate key. Now ive got this error:

`-- -- Dumping data for table `GDN_ActivityType` -- INSERT INTO `GDN_ActivityType` (`ActivityTypeID`, `Name`, `AllowComments`, `ShowIcon`, `ProfileHeadline`, `FullHeadline`, `RouteCode`, `Notify`, `Public`) VALUES (1, 'SignIn', 0, 0, '%1$s signed in.', '%1$s signed in.', NULL, 0, 1), (2, 'Join', 1, 0, '%1$s joined.', '%1$s joined.', NULL, 0, 1), (3, 'JoinInvite', 1, 0, '%1$s accepted %4$s invitation for membership.', '%1$s accepted %4$s invitation for membership.', NULL, 0, 1), (4, 'JoinApproved', 1, 0, '%1$s approved %4$s membership application.', '%1$s approved %4$s membership application.', NULL, 0, 1), (5, 'JoinCreated', 1, 0, '%1$s created an account for %3$s.', '%1$s created an account for %3$s.', NULL, 0, 1), (6, 'AboutUpdate', 1, 0, '%1$s updated %6$s profile.', '%1$s updated %6$s profile.', NULL, 0, 1), (7, 'WallComment', 1, 1, '%1$s wrote:', '%1$s wrote on %4$s %5$s.', NULL, 0, 1), (8, 'PictureChange', 1, 0, '%1$s changed %6$s profile picture.', '%1$s changed %6$s profile p[...]`

So im totally stuck! Can i import this database? im sure there must be a way. Or can i somehow magically repair the old installations? That would be awesome. Any help, guidance, pity lol, please...ill take it ;-) Thanks!

    Vanilla installed in a folder inside of root (where wordpress is installed)

    I'm going to take a wild guess and say you are having htaccess misconfiguration problems. You have 3 separate applications vanilla 1 vanilla 2 and wp inside the root. Each app has it's own htaccess and so does the root.

    You need to check what is going on there , and move the stuff to separate subdirectories. That way if one goes bad you don't wreck the others.

    So im trying to move on, exported the database with phpmyadmin, did a new install, tried to import the content, got an error about duplicate key.

    If you have resolved the first part, then this is the question to post. I would think that this part has to do with the config or the config defaults where this info is kept. Compare the two installations. Post a link to the problem if possible.

    Look in here might help:
