Hi,

Does anyone have a guide of how to move your mybboard between hosting providers?

I get the general idea of how to do the backup of the DB through myphp admin, but when I recreate the database in the new hosting provider and try to input the SQL (or XML) it says a database of that name already exists.

Has anyone had this issue before? Know how I can import the DB extract with out it havign the command to recreate teh database from scratch, I dont see an option for it.

Appreciate your help.....
Cheers.
If you open the .sql file, find a line similar to "CREATE DATABASE ..." and remove it.
