You have an error in your SQL syntax, Migrating from 2.3 to 2.5.1

EdwinJurado

good day to all, I am writing to you in the forum because I have a problem since I migrated from vanilla 2.3 to 2.5.1 that I have not been able to solve.

I made the migration with the importer and apparently everything went well, but I began to get reports from users who could not register an account in the forum and they came up with the following error:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' p.Name as `Name`
from GDN_c `c`
left join GDN_p `p` on c. = p.ID' at line 1

I did the processes that they recommend and I ran as much / dashboard / utility / update as / dashboard / utility / update but I keep presenting the problem

Do you have any solution?

The importer is for importing other forums data to Vanilla. Please read the Instructions on how to upgrade

@R_J I did the steps of the migration as indicated, I sold the error, also eexporte with vanilla2export.php also the error comes out.

From the porters description: "DO NOT USE THIS FOR UPGRADING BETWEEN VANILLA 2.X VERSIONS"

These are the upgrading instructions
They are linked from multiple places, e.g. here
