    Hi All,
    I had to move host yesterday in an abrupt fashion as my server s$^t on me.

    I use X-Site-Pro as a web site builder, and all of that has been moved over nicely.

    However I did have several other things installed that were created in cpanel and thus installed externally and some have MySQL databases attached.

    My questions relate to having these externals moved over.

    For example I had a wordpress blog.

    I have all the files that I managed to download from my previous host as a back up before they closed my account, and I also downlaoded all of my MySQL databases.

    How do i now install wordpress, or even better, have it moved to my new host so that everything is still there?

    Can I just first find the wordpress folder that existed on my directory and upload that to my new host in my root directory? Then if so, how do I then add the database?

    When I downloaded my databases, it did it zipped, and when I opened them it first asked me what extension the file is, and becasue I have no idea, i just said 'sql', and it opened it as an 'sql' file which I then opened in notepad to read. How do i move that file over?

    Cheers if anyone can help

    Easy and simple. :)

    1. Create a database
    2. Restore/Import your backup db
    3. Modify your wordpress config file to reflect its new username, db name & password.

    Hi Bentong,
    That info was great - thanks. I was able to fix wordpress, another blog, a directory, etc with that. Cheers,.

    The only one I had trouble with was my classifieds. I fized up the username and passwrod in the config.php file but it came back with this (which was not the same as before I altered the config.php file)

    Any clues as to why it's come up with this?
