You need to provide them, then maybe someone can help you.

Here’s how I patched and imported (the last, import step, must be done as the `discourse` user):

My import steps are described at the bottom of this page:  
[[Paid] Need a Vanilla 2 Import tool - #62 by omfg](https://meta.discourse.org/t/paid-need-a-vanilla-2-import-tool/14852/62) (just don’t try to import a `.gz` file, it must be decompressed).

If these steps work for you, that would be that. If not, I can’t help because I don’t know anything about this stuff. But you can post your steps and the error you get.
