well I have to be honest all the work I have ever done with MySQL has all been by the seat of my pants so not sure how to dump information from one table set and import it to another. as for just moveing the databases the nameing convention that I used for the tables on the new site is different then the one that I used on the current site. So if im understanding you correctly this solution you recomend probibly wouldn't work for me??? am I correct in this?

Thanks for your respons

ok I have done a little poking around but could not find my answer hopefuly someone will have it for me

Here the situation:

I have one site that is an older version of XOOPS 2.X and I am creating a newer site with a new domain name and new tables and new moduals and the latest version of xoops.

What I am trying to do is I would like to migrate the users from the old site to the new site as well as migrate all the forum posts(if possible but not critical). but the bigest issue is that I need to keep the old site up and running untill i get the new site completed and this is just one of the steps to completeing the new site.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks

I have an issue with my XOOPS and I was hoping someone could help me out here.

when I mail users I get an error like this:

Could not instantiate mail()
Could not send mail to xxxxx


xxxx being the users name. now for mail accounts that are located on the mail server localy the mail goes through but for users that have mail on the outside world i get the above error.

My guess it's the restrictions on my mail server. can someone conferm this. this is also true for for users that try to regester the site tells them that it cannot send mail and to contact the mail administrator.

am I on the right path?

Thanks!
