Well, I have my MyBB forum database backup from a host and wish to move. How am I able to install the database backup to my new host?
Login to your MySQL server:
mysql -u YOUR_USERNAME -pYOUR_PASSWORD
Create a database:
CREATE DATABASE YOUR_DATABASE
(and quit)
Import your database dump to your created database:
mysqlimport -u YOUR_USERNAME -pYOUR_PASSWORD YOUR_DATABASE YOUR_BACKUPFILE.SQL
Dunno why this is in the MyBB.com forum, moved to support.
And it would probably be easier to just use phpMyAdmin instead of using the command line...
Or even better Matt, if you use cPanel, use the backups section to restore the backup.
Am I able to install a MyBB 1.6 forum backup to my MyBB 1.4 forum?
No, 1.6 has many database changes that 1.4 doesn't.
I'm using cPanelX, any tutorials on how to install the backup?
Create a MySQL database then go to phpMyAdmin then upload that backup.
