Hi all,

I have a tiny existing Mingle Forum on https://www.birdsdessines.fr/forum/ that I would like to import into a Simple:Press forum.

I've downloaded the importer and configured it properly (I think) but when I launch the import I get the error "Error: Unable to query FORUMS using the db settings supplied"

And here is the names of my Mingle tables :

Would it be that the importer looks for capitalized "FORUMS" name of table whereas I have "forums"?

Hi:

The word "FORUMS" in that error message is a generic reference to your software's forums table, not the actual table name its trying to reference. So capitalization isn't the issue there.  Are you sure you've entered the correct access information for the database?
