Accidentally killed my drupal install, v. 2.4.a few days ago. I imported the backed up sql info into a new mysql db and exported the node table as an Excel CSV file and used the node_import module in a fresh 2.51 drupal install.

During the import process, messges are being diplayed that say the entries are being saved and the titles are visible, but there are no new nodes and nothing in the db. I've tried a few other ways of exporting the data and new nodes are created, but with nothing in them, so it doesn't seem like a permissions problem.

I'm really green with sql stuff, so any help would be appreciated.

There was an obsolete field in the old file. I grabbed the data from the sql file and removed the offending field and it still wouldn't write, so I inserted it manually via phpmyadmin.
