I have a small VBulletin project I've been working on, and I've searched several times and cannot find a way to move my Vbulletin forum to a new host. I Have Cpanel but I do not have Shell/Telnet access - and the Whole MYSQLDUMP script is way to confusing for me. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and possibly rewarded!
If you are stumped I would get someone to do it for you. Its a 10 minutes procedure at best. Make an sql backup with cpanel(phpmyadmin)by clicking on phpmyadmin>select db>click export>choose sql>copy info into notepad >> download the directory containing VB via ftp. Upload said directory>recreate the db using the same information>change config file and perhaps your .htaccess's base url. hope that helps, Nigel
Ok my new host uses 'DirectAdmin v1.31.5' and my old host uses 'Cpanel' and well i downloaded the database in .gz format using the export feature. But the DirectAdmin panel only allows maximum 10mb uploads via browser, and my database is 12mb. I tried uploading the database via FTP in public_html but it's not showing up under the Select database drop down menu.. ? Any ideas?
put that db in its own folder and get bigdump. put bigdump.php in with the database file. create a database, user and password. edit the variables in bigdump then call it up in a browser. hope that helps.
