I am past the 30 day rule and they wanted 30$ per half hour... All I really need to know is how to move the database. It is in tar.gz format.
The database files that are downloaded when backed up from hostgator appear to be sql.gz. I tried to restore my database but it did not work correctly. anyone know how to d o this? |

to restore sql.gz files
gunzip < databasename.sql.gz | mysql -u username -p target_databasename To unpack the tar.gz tar zxvf filename.tar.gz If you need to move files use scp filename loginname@SERVERIP:/home/path/to/your/account These commands will need to be ran from shell/SSH |

Ok. I found how to export the database as the same file format through phpmyadmin from my old host, now my problem is this...
the database name is "xxxx_forums" the name gets changed to "newusername_xxxxforums" when uploading the backup. So.. I guess I am asking now, how do I change the name of the mysql database in phpmyadmin. I have googled and looked through pages and pages but have found nothing..(hard to believe) |

The db name means nothing, even tho the old db had a different name, when importing the backup sql file, your just importing the data & structure, not the name of the db.
Just change your config.php to reflect the new db name & user info if thats changed as well |
