Are you trying to run the XF importer? Just FYI the importer doesn't work across domains because it doesn't manage ssh or ftp credentials to copy the data and internal_data folders content.

I'd go with just copying all the forum file structure from old to new host, the same with a db backup and then checking all the no so trivial things (mod_security rules, folders permissions, mysql version, database settings in source host, etc).

If you're paying for a VPS maybe you can raise a ticket in your hosting provider. I think you need professional assistance here.

Well if you are looking for just moving your site from one host to another, than make a backup of public_html folder and download the sql backup from phpmyadmin using export option.

Now go to your new host and upload content of public_html to public_html of that host. And open the phpmyadmin and create a db, and import the db in the newly created one.

Update the src/config.php file with your new db info.

probably it refer to an error related to this addon : [8WR] XenRio 2 (Streams) PRO (or other 8WR addon...)
Are you using it ?
try to unistall it from old site, export the DB again, and import again.
or contact the addon autor.

Don't export a database via phpmyadmin.......just use a backup function available in your Cpanel to backup your database. Then import it as usual, let me know if you still face the same error
