MyBB to NodeBB Importer?
-
Thanks Nifty for your reply!
I did a fresh Nodebb install, followed akhoury steps, added the npm install from a console session of your plugin and entered the name of your plugin as you said in your reply.
But I still get the error about no converter/importer being selected.
and
What am I doing wrong?

@TaLoche The error msg says "getaddrinfo " looks like a problem in resolving the mysql database host name to the ip address.
The mysql server is not on the same host as the nodebb ? you need to make sure that the nodebb server can connect to the mysql server ( which is usualy not possible as the default mysql only binds to localhost for security reasons).

Thanks Nifty for your reply!
My Mybb forum is hosted at 1&1 (A German provider).
I did set up my new Nodebb forum on DigitalOcean since it wasn't possible for me to set up Nodebb on my 1&1 hosting plan.So you're saying that I should install my Mybb forum and database on DigitalOcean for make the import?

@TaLoche i would install a mysql on the new Server, make a backup of the db on your 1&1 host, import it on you're new server and than do the nodebb import. After that you can remove the mysql from you're new server. there is no need to get the whole mybb stuff installed. The node importer is only accessing the mysql database and the upload dirctory of the mybb.

I'm sorry? My existing Nodebb install on DigitalOcean is running on Ubuntu 14.04.
On DigitalOCean I can create another Droplet next to Nodebb on Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Coreos or Centos).
My existing Mybb forum is on a MySQL5 server.I was going to use this
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntuto set up Mysql on OceanDigital in a new droplet to be able to import my existing Database to tried to import in afterwards in Nodebb.

@TaLoche You could temporarily (S)FTP into the server and upload it into your root folder, you connect via SFTP on port 22 with your usual username and password, then, close that connection once it's uploaded, and in Terminal, do.
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql -u root -p CREATE DATABASE export; USE export; source <yourfilename>.sql exitThat will give you a database to connect to called export, you could connect to it using 127.0.0.1, then use root for the username, and the password you set up during apt-get install.
If it can't find the sql file, you may need to write the absolute position of it, so for example, /home/user/ or something like that.

@a_5mith Thanks a lot for your help, it worked like a charm! Imported my whole database with no errors!
