I’ve installed the importer but I can’t get past step one selecting the Source Data & Media destinations
I have found my cp-app.cgi file copied and pasted the paths but still will not work.
/var/www/vhosts/moto-racing.co.uk/httpdocs/ccp51/data
/var/www/vhosts/moto-racing.co.uk/httpdocs/ccp51/data
This is from the cp-app.cgi file
######### ######### Edit the following paths and URLs to set up this ######### software package to execute properly. ######### ######### The server_*_path variables are the paths to the different ######### components of this software package.

I have spent about 2 hours looking through the forum but still cannot get it right, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Thanks, tried this but makes no difference!!

You appear to be on a plesk server, which is pickier about paths in PHP than it is in Perl. Try paths like these:
/home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/...
To see if they make a difference. If not, perhaps the location you're installing v8 to cannot see those paths due to permissions issues. Are you trying this on the same domain?

Thanks but still no luck, I seem to have tried every conceivable combination but still getting nowhere.
I am using a spare domain to set the store up before reverting back to the original domain, is this causing the issue?
Thanks

The temp domain likely doesn't have the permissions needed to read files from the original domain. I'd recommend doing the import into a subfolder on the original domain.

Thanks for the reply but how do I go about that?

Create a folder on the domain you would like to run the import from called 'ccp8', or whatever you want, and install version 8 there and run the import. The issue is that on your server you cannot access the original domain's files from the new test domain to do the import, and the importer needs to be able to read the original domain's files to do the import.

The only place plesk will let me create a new folder/directory is inside the httpdocs folder, is it ok to put it there or does it need to be outside httpdocs?
Thanks

Ok I have now installed V8 in a subfolder of the original domain. When I get to step 4 of the importer I am now getting the following error -

In your version 5.1 install, access the database section, and choose to manage table data sources. Flip all of the tables to CSV mode and then the importer should work. The PHP based importer is having trouble connecting to the database you have set up for version 5.1 (which was set up using Perl).
