I'm finally upgrading my site from Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 and followed the directions found at the article "How to migrate extensions from Joomla! 1.5 to Joomla! 2.5 (1.7)" When I got to the Import portion of the instructions I got an error.
MySQL said:
#1136 - Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
How do I fix this?

Re: error importing SQL file from 1.5 into 2.5 database
I think I'm having the same issue as a post called "Upgrading to joomla 2.5" in the "Phoca Gallery" section, but I can't figure it out. I think I have narrowed the issue down to the way I'm exporting the file. My version didn't have the "Dump table" option so the first time I exported using no structure and I got the message above. I then tried exporting again with the structure box checked and when importing I got an error that basically said the phocadownload table already existed. I thought maybe some data had made it from the first import so I uninstalled, made sure the tables were removed and re-installed. I then re-imported, but I got the same error message.
I have created a screen grab of the options I have. I'm hoping someone can direct me which options I should use:

Yep. Those are the instructions I referred to in my original post. As you can tell by the graphic, my import/export options aren't the same as your guide which is where I think the problem lies.

Hi, this is the problem as I don't know how to do it without the import/export options I have used as I didn't test it with other way - only the way I described and have no experiences with other options

Can you see the graphic I posted? I don't have any of experience with SQL. Can you try to guess how your options translate to the ones I have available?

Re: error importing SQL file from 1.5 into 2.5 database
Ugh. I still need help. I don't want to have to manually insert every one of my files, loose the download stats and potentially change the link names which are embedded throughout my site. What a mess! I am so frustrated!
