btw that cron direction is assuming that your oxwall installation is on a subfolder labeled oxwall if its actually in teh root directory remove the /oxwall from this

you rock   why didnt you tell me it was this easy

About how long does the install take now that this is fixed?

hmmm if you are importing I cannot guarantee anything because of current import issues but it normally depends on the size of your site 

Would you say 2 hrs would indicate that  something else is wrong!

Ok so i let it run overnight. its been about 7 hrs or so and when i log in and go to the importer it looks as if i never uploaded anything and the site is still the same! 

Did I do something wrong?

im gonna say the importer is still messed up im sorry thats out of my hand

any clue where to go from here?

Normally the php directory is in the root. With cpanel you need to use the -f and not -q request. So looking at you path at present I would consider this maybe the answer. 

php -f /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php/run.php

You must test the cron works normally sending a private message to a second open account (sock puppet) is the best method. If the cron does not work the import data will not.

At present there is a problem as Joseph says with the the latest wall export data plugin and the latest import plugin.

As I could not wait around for this to get sorted out this is what I have started to do with my new clients sites.

Shut off the verification email temporary

 


By un-ticking the confirm email box then using the username option.

Next go to Admin - User -  Profile Options

Turn of the on signup required options for


 
If you then open up your wall.fm site in a new browser window to Admin- Users - Browse users

You can copy the user name, email and by placing the cursor on the avatar, right click the mouse and choose "copy image location" So you can open records for your user on your new site. It boring but worth the trouble I am doing 10 or 20 day.

I send each one a private mail from their profile to inform the following

I tried to change it to -f and that did not work either! I happed to read the update pack for 1.3.2 or whatever it is and the first thing on the list says that cron has been changed to html. could this be our issue maybe?

After a long conversation with arvixe it seems that step 10 on the installation guide is where we are having a problem.

Before running the Import plugin, please increase the 'maximum_execution_time' php directive value at least to 30 minutes

It seems they have a timeout of 2 mins so they are going to create a custom php file for us. Ill share some more information as it comes

Well im not really to sure what fixed the problem but i got the file to install. 

so has your site been imported properly now?

awesome I am still looking to network I have a new site to help social network owners network a little its mostly a stats counter but people can find other social networks when they visit this site

That sounds good and way you could instant message me on my site and walkme through the facebook and twitter plugins. they dont seem to work properly. Ill also put a banner up for ya if you can make one the right size for the friends page

if you had the facebook connect on your xitti site you just need to update the app to your new domain name

Thank you ;)
