Hi, need help with my website..

Hello fellow DP members,
I have an arcade website which has a script installed. I would like to backup this script and data which is available in my hosting account and install wordpress.
My host offers one click wordpress install and i am unable to do a one click install as i have data in my database. If i am quite a newbie into this, and if this is not quite technical can i do it myself. Is it possible to delete all the data from the database folder and then saving it and then trying the one click install my host provides?
I would appreciate any help with this..

Regards,
James

 

If you can use phpmyadmin you can dump the database and have a copy from it, then save also the files from the FTP and your done!

 

You will need to copy the files of the site using the File Manager on cPanel.

Then, you will need to create a SQL dump of your wordpress database using phpMyAdmin.

Use those copies and load it to the other host.

 

you can also ask your web host to help you. mine helps me when i need it

 

there is a complete guide for WP backup / installation

codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database , refer and go ahead

 

Thanks everyone for your help!

 

Thanks every one to sharing with most important information and giving me lot of experience
