Hey guys,

I just moved servers and need to have my old database transfered to my new server. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

I've tried to follow the instructions on the vbulletin manual but I have zero database knowledge.

Help!

Well do you have phpmyadmin access or shell access?

Yes, without phpMyAdmin or Telnet you're in trouble. There are several hacks available (providing you are using vB2) that make it so you can restore databases, but they are generally unreliable due to timeouts and other problems.

Restoring via the shell (Telnet/Putty w/e) is probably the most reliable method, but phpMyAdmin works just as well IMO and is less complex. You should speak to your host about a phpMyAdmin script.

With phpMyAdmin, you're still out of luck. It's useless for even small backups.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
