Transfer

[oninuva]

Is this how I transfer?

Upload /root files

Then Import database?

[rogersnm]

it would be a good start

or import the database and then upload all the files, or do them both at the same time....

[oninuva]

Could you be a little more descriptive and tell us what exactly isn't working?

[oninuva]

Well this is what I did.

I made a home backup from the old host.

I made a database backup from the old host.

I go onto the new host and upload the home backup. Takes like 2 hours.

I go onto the new host and upload the database backup.

I give the permissions to the new database.

Go onto the site. Error.

Does not send me a error message

Click View -> Source Code/Page Source and you'll see the vB mySQL Error commented out: <!-- Error Stuff -->.

Have you changed your includes/config.php settings to reflect the Username/PW of your new mySQL DB?

[oninuva]

Yeah its the same. Or should be.... hmm

ok here is the error:

Invalid SQL:

			SELECT title, data
			FROM datastore
			WHERE title IN ('','options','bitfields','forumcache','usergroupcache','stylecache','languagecache','products','pluginlist','cron','userstats','birthdaycache','maxloggedin','iconcache','eventcache','mailqueue');

Do you have phpMyAdmin on your new server? Go take a look at your database with it -- from what I can ascertain from this error message, you're missing tables, meaning that your SQL was only partially restored or wasn't at all.

[oninuva]

Why would only half be restored? Should i try uploading it agian?
