Impex Problem

,

I am trying to get impex workingm but I seem to have a problem. I have filled out the appropriate info for impexconfig.php and uploaded all the according files.

The problem comes that when I access the admin panel and select [Import], instead of showing me the import options, it shows me the impexconfig.php script and at the bottom it says:

Code:

Warning: main(/forums/impex): failed to open stream: Success in /forums/impex/index.php on line 46 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/forums/impex' (include_path='.:shared/php') in /forums/impex/index.php on line 46

I checked the index.php and this is what appears on line 46:

Code:

require_once (IDIR . $impexconfig['system']['language']);

any ideas on how to solve this problem?

really? I placed it inside the /forums folder along with the /admincp, /archive, /clientscript, /includes, /install, etc folders.

Where if not should it go?

alright. replied to the pm.

so I actually do have the impex folder in the right section I assume? I have been suggested that it may be a directory permision issue. Could this be?

Re: Impex Problem

dont really feel comfortable giving out info. Sorry, nothing personal. But I can take as many pictures as needed. Here I attached a screen of my Admin Control Panel and how it appears when I click on import.

Strangley enough, I was following some instructions on other forums and when I tried accessing a site directly, such as: forums/impex/help.php it showed me the same impexconfig code.

Im sure this has something to do with it.. When I upload these files, should there be a new table on my database?

thanks for your help btw.

Re: Impex Problem

oh, that isn't how that screen should look.. nothing like that at all.. did u make sure the config.php file doesn't have the .new extension on it ?
