phpbb3 migration to flarum error

Can't get the new db tables to work in mysql

I managed to run porter locally and it successfully made the new tables "FLA" and "PORT" directly into the preexisting database. After that I went into my fresh install of flarum and removed the "PORT_" tables from the database like the command terminal told me. I did that in phpmyadmin but whats next? The database now has "users" and "FLA_users" etc. how do I combine or merge them? Also there is about 15 new tables made automatically with "FLA" prefix with data (posts, threads) that needs to by applied.

I have tried copying it over but there is always an issue with "tables already exists or permission". Then I tried copy and replace but that gave me a "/vendor/flarum/core/src/Frontend/Content/CorePayload.php on line 57" error.

I'm pretty stuck right now so some guidence is appreciated!

panda232 I'm not familiar with porter, but aren't the prefix-less tables the original tables and fla_ tables the final output? Does it work when connecting Flarum to the database with a fla_ table prefix? I doubt you're supposed to merge tables manually afterwards.

clarkwinkelmann Thanks for the response! Yes the original tables are prefix-less when you setup flarum. I ran the porter tool and it created FLA_ prefix and PORT_ prefix by default. So for example the users from my old forum has been ported over to FLA_users table into the flarum database. After this I can still only login to my admin account from users table but not any account from the imported FLA_users. Same goes for multiple tables like posts, tags etc.

The guide is kinda unclear on the next step so thought I'd ask here, how do I connect flarum to use all the new FLA_ tables instead? Also will that make the current accounts from users to be removed?
