Dear all friends,

I really need your kindness help to explain how to move all databases in my forum into new hosting plan. Because my recent plan will be expired soon.

Thank you,
Bounthone

ACP >> Tools & Maintenance >> Database Backup >> New Backup

Click "Select All" then choose to backup via plain text file (it will download [something].sql which holds your tables). Then with your new host, create a new database and upload the SQL file in phpMyAdmin (if it supports it). Then install MyBB as usual. Smile
Thank you for you kindly response. Now I can upload the SQL files but I could not login. What do you mean "Then install MyBB as usual"? How can start?

Waiting for your supporting, thank you in advance.

Couldn't login to what?? You don't need to reinstall if you've imported a database backup, you'll just need to edit your ./inc/config.php plugin to point t the new database.

Dear Supporter,

Yes, I have changed what you guide me, but still have the same problem as:

1. I have all database from bounthone.com/forum into inter-econ.febm.co.cc
2. when we need registering new user, it is still on bounthone.com/forum that is old server and old domain name.

Please help, thank you in advance!
So so the problem is people are still registering on the old forum, rather than the new one?

You can set up a 301 redirect so users that try to access the old site will be redirected to the new one.

Add this to the old forums .htaccess
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://inter-econ.febm.co.cc/$1 [R=301,L]
