Hosting Problem

Discussion in 'Web Hosting' started by wptheme, Mar 20, 2009.

    Hi, I just bought a site and a database for a site of mine. I have a reseller and just created a cpanel account. Added my domain to the cpanel.
    Now the proble is that the database is to big and the seller asked me to ask my host to enable SSH. What is SSH and why cant I just install using cpanel? The database size is 1GB.
    Need help to solve this problem asap. Thanks

    Thanks for the superb response via PM. Will keep this in mind. Still waiting of other alternative first though. Rep+
    If there are anyone else who can install the database without using SSH PM me your rates too and your payment option. I accept PP and MB but prefer MB more. Let me know

    Here is my advice for free :)

    phpMyAdmin allows uploads upto 51200 KB via the browser. So, make parts of your 1 GB database dump, which are smaller than or equal to the above size. Then import them in the correct order.

    Try it & let me know how it goes.

    I would say better upload the 1 GB file in a .sql format to your /home/<user>/

    where <user> is your account (from your ftp this is the root when you login using cPanel username and password)

    Then contact your host asking them to restore the database for you or ask them to provide you SSH access.

    The SSH command would be

    mysql -u db_username -p db_name < /home/<user>/backupname.sql
    Code (markup):
    This is the safest method if you (your host) can do it this way.

    hi
    i dont think with normal hosting you be able to do SSH
    you need vps/dedicate server to use ssh,
    why not telling him use a back up option and then use ftp ur self?

    You can open it in a text editor & make parts.

    You could think of it as making a new file for each paragraph in some text file.


    Or you could try the attached script. It comes with instructions on how to use it to upload large dumps.


    Or this - http://www.rusiczki.net/blog/blogstuff/SQLDumpSplitter.zip

    Let me know if you need any further help.

    SSH is a command line interface for Linux that allows you to do things directly on the server. You can monitor all the running programs, really, anything you need. Most hosts will nto allow you SSH access on a shared environment (reseller is a shared env.). This is due to security risks. You MAY be able to get jailed SSH, which, essentially, limits you to certain things.

    And it would not be a good thing for you to mess with if you don't have any knowledge of it. You can really muck up a server if you do something wrong.
