Uploading Data Base

Fri 20 Nov '09, 2:30pm

I was looking for a couple of question to be answered about uploading a database from one vbulletin to another.

I have exported the database from an old board and don't know how to upload it to the new one and if I did upload it could I just upload the user names and information for each user?

What type of information is upload when I do upload the database? Is there anyway to stop any unwanted information from uploading?

Thanks
Adam

The only reliable method of restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because restoring with a PHP script like that in phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeout errors and an incomplete database. Please see the instructions here:

vBulletin Manual

Note: Some people have reported success with these scripts:

MySQLDumper:

403 Forbidden

MySQLHotxcopy:

Bigdump (restore only):
