I cannot get importer to work.

In installed the V7 all went OK,

Moved the 2 files that came with the import zip file and changed the one place in each with my domain.
Moved the import file to its directory

Before closing the UBB CLassic I had it tell me where all the paths were. which was
Absolute Paths
Path to the CGI Directory: /home/teamzron/public_html/cgi-bin
Path to the NonCGI Directory: /home/teamzron/public_html/ubb
Path to the Members Directory: /home/teamzron/public_html/cgi-bin/Members
Path to the Variables Directory: /home/teamzron/public_html/cgi-bin

URL to the CGI Directory: http://teamzr1.com/cgi-bin
URL to the NonCGI Directory: http://teamzr1.com/ubb

run the importer, pasted the links from above and get this

Checking... You entered the wrong path to the members directory

No matter if I on purpose give a wrong path for the 1st path line it time it still reports Members has wrong path

What is the problem ?

Thanks,

Humm, odd; are the directories here set the same as they are in classic?

Just a thought....

It's not a lowercase 'M' on members is it?

No I checked and it is uppercase M for Members.
Even if another path line is left empty once importer starts it still gives error about members directory so that path may not even be the cause of failure.

Anyone else with some ideas for I have tried taking /home/ out of the path to even using my domain name at start of paths and get the same error as soon as I click the icon after paths are entered

What it looks for is the memberlist.cgi file in the Members directory to make sure that you've entered the proper path. Is this a classic 6.7 board your importing from?

The 2 files that come with importer zip file where are they supposted to be installed ?
I assumed it was into the cgi-bin after I renamed the 2 files of same name used with V6.7

I assume the importer file goes into the import directory of the new V7 subdirectory.

The ultimatebb.cgi file goes into the cgi-bin directory. The ultimatebb.php file goes into the normal ubb directory. But those should be done after the import is finished.

The easiest way to make sure you have the proper paths is download the vars_config.cgi file from your cgi-bin. That has the exact paths you'll need to enter during the import.

You can also take a look in your Members directory and make sure there is a memberlist.cgi file.

Rick there is no docs as to this process that I could find.
All that the importer zip I downloaded has is one small doc saying to rename the URL.
I assume they were moved BEFORE the import was to be used so would that cause import to fail ?

I did download the var_config and it matches what paths I used

%vars_config = (
q!AdminLogging! => q!YES!,
q!BBName! => q!Team ZR-1 Corvette Racers!,
q!CGIPath! => q!/home/teamzron/public_html/cgi-bin!,
q!CGIURL! => q!http://teamzr1.com/cgi-bin!,
q!CachePath! => q!/home/teamzron/public_html/ubb/cache-5655V2WY!,
q!Cookie_Number! => q!2453634.1457!,
q!EnableAccel! => q!YES!,
q!MaxMemFields! => q!43!,
q!MembersPath! => q!/home/teamzron/public_html/cgi-bin/Members!,
q!NonCGIPath! => q!/home/teamzron/public_html/ubb!,
q!NonCGIURL! => q!http://teamzr1.com/ubb!,
q!VariablesPath! => q!/home/teamzron/public_html/cgi-bin!,
q!cache_pw! => q!5655V2WY!,
);


1;

I checked and there is a memberlist.cgi ( older V6.7.2 works so much have proper files)

I got it, it was due to the 2 files within importer zip being moved in before the importer was used.
Someone should add text to doc that comes with that zip downloaded to tell people that

Now stupid question is what URL is for the admin program ?

Thanks
