I get this error when I try to upload with phpmyadmin
Hi,

When creating the backup, please specifically tell MyBB not to create a GZIP version - it will download a plain .sql file for you to upload.

Alternatively now with your current backup, if you download an application such as Winzip or WinRAR, you can extract the backup .gz file and it will be a .sql file (or a plain text file within that) which you should be able to upload and restore using phpMyAdmin.

Regards,
Chris
Ahhhh thank you so much. You saved me man : )
A new question,

It says mybb_adminlog already exists

Do I have to delete all the tables before i perform a backup?
Yes, you do.
Phew. I got almost everything back up. Thanks so much for your product and support. Voted for you from yoru link there -- not that it means much, but I dont have any other way of thanking you.
can I ask, is drop tables in mysql the same as deleting them?
