Error in migrating a MyBB to Discourse

Migration
1

Hi
I followed all the instructions in this link but when I ran the migration script, the following output appeared. I have a few questions:
1. Was the migration completed successfully
2. . If the report below indicates an issue, is there a way to determine the exact cause of problem?

Mostly? Open the site in your browser and look around.

It’s unclear from your logs whether it did all of the topics and posts or not.

The “primary email” error means that you created a user on this discourse site with the same email address as an imported user. This will (probably) mean that the user’s posts won’t belong to them. The easiest solution is to wipe the database and start over without creating any users.

Thank you very much pfaffman
the number of posts is immense. it difficult to determine if all of posts has migrated. To ensure everything is correct I deleted the database and re-ran the migration script. The bundle exec rails server command has been running for a day , but has not finished yet. Is this normal?

Is this on a development instance?

It’s expected that bundle exec rails server will run forever. You should point your browser to your server and see what happened. You also need to bin/ember-cli and point your browser to http://localhost:4200
