but its wp throwing the path error…

also, the vbulletin and WordPress installs (at least the db) need to be on the same server…  cannot connect (at least not in standard wp) two databases on different servers – they wont have access… are these on same server?

can you grab a screenshot of your importer options?

Thanks! Here at the link the screenshot.

Yes, both databases are on the same server and also both installs are on the same server. 

It is something tricky I can’t figure out …

shouldnt make any difference, but can you select one of the password options and see if any different…  cant see how it would affect the path, but worth the try…

can you post your ABSPATH line of code from bottom of wp-config.php? and the line 83 with error… please dont post the db connection info…

it is:

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */

require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

and this is line 83, it seems. So it’s definitely WP which is firing up the error and not the script. I tried all 3 password options however the error is always the same,

Warning: require_once(ABSPATHwp-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/virtual/www.triestediventigioco.org/problem-with-post-edit-buttontdocs/wp-config.php on line 83

it appears it’s some problem with paths ..?

What is the definition of ABSPATH earlier?

Is there anything unique about this wp install? Ie wp-config.php not located in wp root? Subdirectory install, etc..

… your hint made me check again the ABSPATH variable: it was wrong, it contained the full server path, instead I had to put ‘/’ (root). Something connected to the Virtual Machine configuration I think (it’s not a real server but a VM). Now it works.

Not all posts were imported ok, but that’s connected to the different structure of the two forums and I think I understood how to fix.

Thanks!

good work…  glad we could help…
