Full Version: Moving MySQL database to a new host
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am moving my site to a new host, and along with it my MySQL Database. However, I do not know how to get the MySQL Database installed on my new host! I have copied every file from the original forum over. please help!
Go into phpMyAdmin, and hit "import".
The database isn't stored in the file system, you'd need to take a backup of it via the MyBB ACP or phpMyAdmin first.
Just to be clear, go to ACP>Tools & Maintenance>Database Backups>New Backup>Select All>OPTIONS: GZip compression on, Download on, Structure and Data Only on, Yes on>Perform Backup
Thank you all. It worked great!
