MyBB Community Forums

Folks

I've used search for an answer to this honestly I have, but there are so many links which don't always offer the same advice and I end up confused!

Has anybody got links to hand for the accepted guidance on moving a v1.6.10 myBB forum to a new host as well as a new domain?

Thanks you for your time and patience!

Cheers

basically you have to take backup of all files and database and use them on the new host for the new domain.

if you are confused then may be you can hire someone to do it for you

Thanks for the links .m.

I'm sure I'll be fine!

As it's a new domain as well as a new host, I'll be able to dual run until I get it right

^ if there is any problem then post here so that someone can provide required guidance

OK - I've finally found time to try to move myBB to a new host/new domain.

First problem, when I try to add the database to the new host it uploads but then I get the following error message:

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '‹ ' at line 1

Any ideas folks?

Cheers

EDIT: tried again with a backup without auto-correct box ticked and this time got a different error message:

ERROR at line 1: Unknown command '\M'.

is this within PhpMyAdmin or something?

Hi

It's the message I get from my new host when I use their restore function to load the database there

Ignore the above however folks! .......I've moved on since then!

When I try to open the forum currently, I get this:

Having done a little more digging on this problem I'm beginning to think it's a compatability issue between the versions of SQL being run on my old host and my new host.

Is this possible?

*sigh*

Well I've moved my database using bigdump
Moved my website files
Made changes to config.php and settings.php

All I get is a blank screen
