What version of mysql is on the new server?

What command did you use to back up this old database in ssh?

This sometimes can make a difference and cause issues.

5.0.22 via tcp/ip on the new server
5.0.22-log via tcp/ip on the current site

if it was on a linux box have your hosting company run this to back up your database and then have them provide you a link to download it.

You could fight for hours trying to get it working when you backup with one program and restore with another.

Check our this thread for some great information.

Both Linux...

Backed up and restored with the same program - mysql administrator...

Thanx

Hi,

The tools listed for backing up the database seem to be scripts that need copying to the server that hosts the database files. Is this the case?

If it is, I can't use them as I have said previously that I don't have ssh access to that server.


Can anyone help as this problem means that we can't migrate and currently are paying for two hosts!
