Where is the file exported?

omard20000

After I fill in the form I cannot find the file that is exported. I am trying to export a vanilla 2.2 file, Im using a Mac.

Exporting generally means to your computer. Look at your settings on the mac in finder to see where downloads are saved generally it is in the downloads folder but it may be anywhere you set it to be to store the downloads. It could be documents , you need to find it.

Finding things on a mac is easy, you open a finder window and enter the name of the file.

I looked around, couldn't find anything. Any idea what the file name would be @vrijvlinder

Really appreciate your reply.

Assuming you are exporting the database from mysql , the name of the file is the same name of the database it came from by default unless you named it something else . Look for anything that has an extension SQL if that is how you exported it.

You don't use Porter to export Vanilla as far as I know it is used to export other forums to Vanilla.

@vrijvlinder I was able to get the file uploaded, however I encountered another problem

"Your database does not contain any import tables."

Shouldn't Vanilla set this up automatically? Or should I do that manually, if so, how?

I really appreciate your help!

You need to read the instruction on how to create a mysql database export file.

I keep on getting errors from my previous plugins/applications since they are not in the new FTP server yet, what should i do?

Go to the config.php and put FALSE instead of TRUE where it says Enabled Plugins. The only one you do not disable is htmlawed. Then you need to make sure the htaccess file is correct. Delete from that file the settings of these plugins as well if there are any.

Delete the .ini files from the cache.

Post the contents of the config.php with the personal information like passwords and server names and keys edited out.

You need to delete or disable those plugins before you make an export file. Do not use minify plugin at all. It sucks.
