Problem

I saved my database from vbulletin 2.3.2

But then I deleted my 2.3.2 folders then I uploaded and installed vbulletin 3 beta 6.

How Do I upload my database or is it possible?

When I try to upload it via phpmyadmin I get the follwing error

"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 80"

That is no good to me because the database has been wiped off the server and it is on my hard drive.

If you as me anything Vbulletin being so "advanced" should have an "import .sql" in the admin options.

You can't import a database via the Admin CP because the database needs to be open to run the Admin CP.

Also I don't understand what you mean by 'the database has been wiped off the server and it is on my hard drive.' What form is this database? If it's a backup then Step 3 should still apply.

The database was deleted of the server when I went to /admincp/install for vbulletin I forgot to run upgrade and I told it to delete the database.

And what about 'it is on my hard drive'? You also said you saved a copy of the 2.3.2 database. In what format is this backup and where is it?

That is correct. I have the databse which I download just before I tried to upgrade. The file format is .sql
It's location is on my desktop.

Good. Then upload it to your server and follow Step 3 in the link I posted above.

Where abouts in the server should I upload it?

I just have another problem Shell access for the server is not enabled and the host will not enable it for security reasons.
