Hi all I've problem importing this large database of mine over, it's 175mb. Well this is what happened:
I tried installing the download II modification but I can't seem to save the settings, then I tested it on a test forum it works so I guess it's because there's conflicts with the other mods. Hence I reinstalled my site, all the members and post counts are still intact, the download mod works but I risk losing all the other mods.
I do not want to reinstall every single of those mods again as some of them like the vb experience already have my member statistics, I'm pretty sure there's a way I can retrieve them back. Is there any way?
Well, it was a fortunate thing I did a full entire site backup on the 4th April so what I did was I imported one of the sql files over but it keeps giving me this error:
Script timeout passed, if you want to finish import, please resubmit same file and import will resume. However on last run no data has been parsed, this usually means phpMyAdmin won't be able to finish this import unless you increase php time limits.
I always getting timed out so i guess there's only 2 options:
1) Get my host to upload the sql file for me
2) Get shell acess from my host.
But guess what? My host doesn't respond to support tickets at all and he is hardly ever on, even if he is, his status is always busy so he won't respond to you. I wouldn't want this to drag too long as my site current database is reset back to 2 mths ago and within this period, there've been lots of registrations and I don't want to make my active members keep waiting.
Is there any way I can transfer all the other mods and stuff back in other words that large 175mb file?
