Import MySQL Database To Dreamhost

    Hey guys,

    I have few issues importing a wordpress data base back at Dreamhost.com. Does anyone use dreamhost, I have a few questions about accessing PhPMyAdmin in order to upload a database.

    I just don't get about doing it. Things should be pretty easy, however it doesn't work. I first create the database, with the old user name and password.

    Whenever I try accessing PhPMyAdmin for this domain I get this error -- Wrong username/password. Access denied.

    What username and password does PhPMyAdmin require back at dreamhost.com. All other hosting companies don't need a login that is why I am asking.

    Any help is highly appreciated.

    Thanks

    ask your old server to give you an sql dump which they will generate it with their shell and give you the download zip. You can upload that with your phpmyadmin, or send it to your current host and ask them to restore it for you from shell

    You need the sql database login for phpmyadmin access. You created it when you created the database in DH control panel.

    Never used Dreamhost but you can ask them to get more help. They should assist you quickly on this.
