Downloaded SQL database from mybb admin panel and it came in .sql.gz format. 

Now I wanted extract is and ran this command: gunzip db_name..

It returns
sql.gz: not in gzip format

I did file db_name. It returns
backup_f4bd58c4dbnnBp8qenntx27NeCjIyxApyJaYGa3DplghBAeEo32Mb1sgXHZqI4IB.sql.gz: data

Any help? Site is seosatanforum
The database should be extracted in .sql after uncompressing it.
Gunzip should have extracted your file properly, make sure your downloaded database is not corrupted.
Alternatively download database backup from phpmyadmin.
