I am moving to a new host. I have read about moving all the files and then changing the config to reflect the new server. How do I go about getting the new host to have the databases?
Download your database using phpmyadmin, and upload it again onto your new host.
By "uploading", destroyer means restoring using the "Restore" feature in PhpMyAdmin. The config details need to match the same details as your database.

Thanks guys. It hit me about 20 minutes ago how to do it. The problem now is importing onto the new host in phpmyadmin timesout.
thanks tikitiki
EDIT: I got the database moved over and changed the config file but I am still having problems.
My new host is netfirms. I can not get the config file setup correctly.
Here is my config file.
$config['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
$config['hostname'] = 'mysqlhost';
$config['username'] = 'u70395007';
$config['password'] = '*****';
$config['database'] = 'mybb1';
$config['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';
now here is a sample php from netfirms help menu
<?
$hostname = "mysqlhost";
$username= "username";
$password= "password";
$dbid="dbid";
$link=mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($dbid) or die ("Unable to connect to MySQL");
print "Connected to MySQL
";
mysql_close($link);
?>
How do I get mybb to work???
Password has been blocked out for security reasons.
Now I get an access denied for user error.
Is your database correct? Most hosts append something to the database name
I don't see anything but the name I gave it of mybb1?
I would be more than happy to give you access to my account, if you were willing to get it working for me? I am so frustrated right now.
Sure. CPanel access is all I need at the moment
