Hi , Ive back up from my old forum , i had problem with old hosting and i changed my hosting... now could you tell me plz how i upload my back up ?

Thx

Create a new database on the new host, import the backup file, and edit ./inc/config.php to point to the new database.

thx for reply. Could you tell me plz how i import tha database... and where i will edit..

In PHPMyAdmin. Click your database on the list on the left, and then the Import tab.

And just edit ./inc/config.php to include the current details... use this code if you need the template: [wiki]Inc/config.php[/wiki]

And I swear this thread has already been made by you at some point....

Hi i couldnt fix the problem , they i requested my hosting to upload my old backup database and i edited my config.php but still my forum like new....plz help to back my old forum... i tried my best.

What do you mean 'look like new'?? If config.php is pointing to right database, and that database has your backup uploaded, it will show fine.

plz have a look my forum link is www.hotbangali.com/fmybb/index.php

just i changed again... the config.php

$config['database']['type'] = '******';

$config['database']['password'] = '*******';

I edited your post, publicly posting the password to your database is obviously not a wise thing to do. You may as well just ask a hacker to hack your forum...

Are you sure that your backup is uploaded to the database in config.php?? It seems like you just haven't uploaded anything.

My old config.php file which was in my old forum

<?php
/**
* Database configuration
*
* Please see the MyBB Wiki for advanced
* database configuration for larger installations
* http://wiki.mybboard.net/
*/

$config['database']['type'] = '******';
$config['database']['database'] = '*********';
$config['database']['table_prefix'] = '*******';

$config['database']['hostname'] = '*******';
$config['database']['username'] = '**********';
$config['database']['password'] = '********';

/**

* For security reasons, it is recommended you
* rename your Admin CP directory. You then need

*/

That doesn't help at all. I'll ask again, are you sure that your backup is uploaded to the database in config.php??
