Transferring a forum from one server to the other · **Released**: 02-03-2003

Ya recently i'm abotus to move servers.

ANyway, I backed up the forums from the back-up database featuer in the admin panel and i got about a 45 meg .sql file.

On my new server, i've set up phpadmin and a uploaded all my forum files but that's it. What do i do with the big 45 meg .sql file? Cause there isn't a palce in phpadmin that just say import everything. What do i do to get the database good again?

The backup feature in the admin pannel and phpMyAdmin are not reliable at all. If you have SSH or Telenet access, back up and restore the database using that.

How do u use Telnet/SSH? I heard of that but don't know the specs of it at all.

that makes hardly any sense. I don't know what telnet and SSH are so defining that and where to get it would be a good start.

Sorry, it's the best definition I could find for you. In fact that thread contains a link to a perfectly good SSH client. Apparnetly this is not good enough so I'll stop trying to help now.

Vivi Ornitier: google.com might help you with SSH, too.

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