I have a back-up of SQL,how do I put it in? Also what rebuild tools?
Please help!
Thanks!
Rebuild tools: admin panel --> tools (last tab) --> on the left side menu, rebuild/recount tools (something similar).
SQL backup: open PHPMyAdmin, click on the database, click on the import tab; select the file and submit it.
You need to import the backup via phpmyadmin. You should be able to access phpmyadmin via your hosts's control panel. The recount and rebuild tools are found in the MyBB ACP under the Tools & maintenance section.
Make sure you used the same table prefix in the new installation.. (Like Paul H. said).
Awesome! Thanks guys!, I'll try this tomorrow.

I'm sorry what do you mean? Please explain.
Thanks.
Examples
- mybb_
- forums_
- mybb1_
- mybb_1_
as the begging like the adminlog table for the above examples
- mybb_adminlogs
- forums_adminlogs

Exactly, the database tables start with mybb_ or something else you chose. If you changed it, then your new install should have the same prefix, otherwise the wrong tables will be used.
When imported in PHPMyAdmin, check the left side of it -- these are the tables. There should be no other tables (for example if you see mybb_... you shouldn't find another table prefix for any other table). If there are two different prefixes -- it means your new install uses another prefix. I hope this is clear.
