MyBB Community Forums

Who can kindly help me.
I would like to do backup and restore. The backup file is already downloaded. However, I can not find the "myBB" database in MySQL. I check ./inc/config/php, it shows database name is "myBB". But this database "myBB" does not existed in mySQL (please see my attachment). I am very frustrated since backup function really works. But I do not know where I can restore it since I do not see any database named as "MyBB"

Information_schema? Open there!

Information_schema database does not have tables of myBB. Is it possible I do not use relational DB, just use file CSV supported by myBB? Can I change it?

you have to create a new database through database manager and import your database backup into the new database
then you have to use the database details in ./inc/config.php file so that your forum files connect to it
