   !Hubzilla Support Forum I'm trying to use the Channel Export feature on the latest dev release of Hubzilla, but any time I try to import it into my Hubzilla 3.0 installation, I seem to be getting errors that either say Channel Not Found or Unable to download the data from the old server. I've tried to use the smaller export file provided from the Export Channel page, and I've tried using the server credentials, and neither combination of either method seems to create the clone channel on my other hub.
   
   Am I doing something wrong, or is there something that I need to investigate between the two hubs? If it helps any, my dev branch hub also has the new Zot add-on enabled for the channel.

      I'm running slightly newer code but that interface hasn't changed at all since 3.0; and it worked first try for me using the old server as the source. What version is the old server?
      
      The old identity address has to be user@host - nothing else will work. If that's what you entered, you should be able to login to https://oldsite/api/z/1.0/channel/export/basic with username/password and get a json dump. That will verify the download api is working. You may need to create a file dbfail.out that's writable by the web server and/or review the regular logs to debug the import from file. I'm not aware of any incompatible changes recently.

      And if "Zot add-on" means zotvi, remove it; though that should not have any affect on export/import. It's removed from the latest dev addons. We're going about zot6 somewhat differently than originally proposed.
