Okay, I'm having major issues restoring my database. I followed the instructions for PHP Admin and nothing happened. I even tried the Bigdump program and nothing happened. I have the same screen as I did when I reinstalled my forum! HELP!

You should run the install process then restore the database
Okay. Also, am I supposed to delete the DB (named zaccaria_forum) before I try to restore the DB? Maybe that was the problem. *confused*
yes. When you run the setup name it zaccaria_forum, and then restore the backup into zaccaria_forum
Okay. I'll delete the current DB and try again. *crosses fingers*
I keep getting a database is already created message. So I deleted the database, and then it cant upload because there is no username to log in as without a database, how do I get around that?
I am moving to another server with cpanel. I tried to restore my backup but I couldn't manage
I tried ;
mysql -uUSERNAME -p DBNAME < /PATH/TO/DUMP.SQL
Bigdump.php
Putty but I couldn't restore mybackup
and from myphpadmin it only takes 35 tables but I have 49 tables.
What can be wrong
the table only restoring

are inserting tables, or updating! you have to make sure of that when exporting the database, also make sure to select all the tables.
moreover, make sure that you have same tableprefix in both databases(at least when updating)
