How To Transfer Users and Threads to a new Vbulletin Forum?

[mehranmahouti]

Hi everyone,

I have formated my linux Centos 4 server with PHP 4.4 and install Centos 5 with PHP 5.1 ( will upgrade to 5.2 soon ).

I succeed to restore all of my web sites and forums except one which has 110MB sql file, VBulletin 3.6.8.

I think the problem is related on my hack's and modifications I have done before...

Now I decided to install a new and fresh forum with version of 3.6.8 to be the same with ex one ( I will upgrade it after transferring ( migrating ) every threads, posts and members to new forum to 3.8.4)

But the problem is: when I restore the whole sql to new forum I had come across many problems.

THE QUESTION IS:

how can I transfer just "threads", "posts" and "members" to a new and fresh vBulletin forum ?

please note that my forum is not working now and I just have a "whole-website-backup.SQL" file and also back up of whole database folder in the linux ( it contains .frm , .MYD , .MYI files like: mst_post.frm , mst_post.MYD , mst_post.MYI and others...)

I have tried to copy these .frm .MYD and .MYI files on the new database folder but it was not worked!!

I think I must restore by the help of .SQL file but I dont know how! when I recover whole the .SQL file forum does not work good and had some problem ( I can't log in to admin panel for example, and my VBSeo configurations gone and can't be repaire...

Please show me how can I transfer just my Posts and members to a NEW installed VBulletin forum with same or different "database name" and "database username".

Thank you in advance.

TBH, I really don't think you can. Not unless you copy all the files images, everything. And make the same database on it. And upload everything again?
