phpbb moving - please help

Discussion in 'phpBB' started by siraxi, Jan 24, 2006.

    Hello

    I'm striving to move a phpbb forum. The main problem is that of database size: 23 MB or 3.5 MB archived. Seems like phpmyadmin doesn't handle very well size databases.

    is there any way to upload the database by FTP? Where should I place it and how the file? (database: _phpbb1)

    Thanks.

    You'd need to ssh it over, or if you've got whm you can easily move your entire site including the database in a matter of seconds.

    I don't know about SSH. On the old host there was Cpanel, on the new host - it's NetAdmin 4.

    Finally, I did it by database backup (download from old host, upload to new host)

    Thanks for your reply.

    But the problem now is that I can't log in, no mater what I do. After identifying correctly the right usessword combination, the system won't let me in, it just redirects to the forum index paget actually logging me in. I have no clue as to why this happens and what to do now.... ?

    i had that same problem when i moved to a new server.. i just rebuilt the user tables and info and it worked with phpmysql

    i think i got lucky, because i was told this doesnt always work, and there were a few users who had to re-register, but other than the users tables, everything else was fine

    In my case it might have been a cookie problem, I was suggested to reset cookies, which I did, and everything went back to normal. Still don't quite understand why was that.
