Can't I just copy the whole mysql/var directory containing all of the DBs I want to the new server via FXP???

What's the problem with that?!?

Please advice asap!

Thanks.

Those files never contain the entire database. MySQL caches a lot, that's why the only complete way of backing up your forum is via MySQL's own functions like mysqldump or through phpMyAdmin and alike.

But i can see all of the info! Database is current, i can see the latest user on both servers, the latest post on both, etc...

How can I use phpmyadmin to achieve the dump? I couldn't recover the dump from the command line at all...

If you are sure that every info is in the new DB, just upload the files to the server, edit config.php according to the new host and try to run vB.

FWIW you must use SSH/Telnet to restore a dump. Any PHP-based method including PMA and the admin CP are horrendeously unreliable.

I tried Telnet.

I do get ERROR 2006 at line 157: MySQL server has gone away
when I try to restore the dump.

I'm unable to use the --opt parameter due to another error. Can I just back it up without --opt?

After copying using the mysql/var transfer from one server to another, i get these other errors:

My old host allowed SHH which meant i could get a dump of the db - but my new host doesn't allow it -- is there any other way of doing this?
