Hi,

I am trying to make a copy of my live forum and set it as a test board.

I have created a new database and added all files to a new folder
and also changed the config file too.

My only problem is importing the database to the new database that I created.

I have downloaded a copy of my live forum database but do I just rename the
database file I downloaded to the new name or not?

Thanks for any help :)

PS. I already have my test board hidden from the public before anyone jumps in & says ;)

Here is info on importing the database from the manual:
Restoring The Database via SSH/Telnet (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/../docs/html/maintenance_ssh_restore) or
Restoring The Database via phpMyAdmin (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/../docs/html/maintenance_phpmyadmin_restore)

Just make sure the database name you put in the import line is your test database name, not the main site database name.
