Looks to me that it might be a path problem.
What is the original path to the classic site?
What is the new path for Threads?
What did you insert in the URL line on ultimatebb.cgi redirect script?

original path:

http://www.mysite.com/cgibin/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi

inserted just the new path to threads:

http://www.mysite.com/forum

could it be site id as the importer did not indicate a site id:

Your old site should be http://topkayaker.net/cgi-bin/TopYakcgi/ultimatebb.cgi. This is where you replaced the ultimatebb.cgi script with the redirect script?

Your new location in the ultimatebb.cgi script should be
$URL = "http://www.topkayaker.net/forum"
The next setting for me on a windows server with my host I use:
$redirect = 0
Site ID really only comes into play if you have multiple forum installations and should be 1

BTW this posting should really be moved to the proper forum

thank you but all that checks out...but it doesn't work.

I made sure and re uploaded the files.

do appreciate help with this.

Sorry...don't know how to move this topic.

BTW all the forums imported beautifully.

really need to fix this.

Then you might need to open a support ticket.

I moved a bit too many posts

Anyways, Ruben is correct. At this point it's going to be best/easiest if a support ticket is opened with ftp info to the server so we can take a look.

I can't believe it! I figured it out!!!! The url redirect wasn't building a query...so changed this:



BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!

Good for you.
My setting is also "0".
This brings up a question for me since I upgraded from Classic 16 months ago.

Is there a point in time that you really don't need the redirect scripts?
Just thinking of housekeeping issues on my server.
