Transfer Ipb Db To Tch

[[=hris]

I hope this is the right forum to post this!

 

I have an Invision Power Board forum on my old host, and i want to transfer all the data in it's database to my new TCH account... i went into IPB, and did a database backup, and got an sql file out of it, which i have checked, and it does seem to have all the correct sql statements for re-creating the database... How do i actually import this data?? Can it be done through phpMyAdmin or something??

 

Thanks

Yes, it can be done through phpMyAdmin. In cPanel, under the database section, you have the phpMyAdmin. Beware, the link will open a new window automatically ( Mad!!! ).

Then, in phpMyAdmin, select a database you already have - if you don't have one, simply create one with the name you want; in this case you will want to adjust the SQL statements so they won't create the database again - and then, on the top of the right frame, you'll see a link that says "SQL". Click it and you'll have a text box where you can enter the SQL statements directly or, if you prefer, upload the file to the server and let it take care of things for you.
