On my old website I hade a forum from phpBB, in which many friends where member and wrote alot of posts. Now I wanna move this forum to my space here on frihost, but i don't know how I do to still have all the posts and all the members left. When I just copy the whole "/forum" to my new site, it's just an empty forum. The mods and styles are still there but not a singel post or member are left.
Please help me! I'll give 100 frih$ to the one who helps me!!
Need to copy your SQL database I think.
okej, how do I do that? Do I have to contact my webhosters?
you can just save your stuff in a zip, then load it back onto your new forum, i'm not sure how to do it, but it can be done, without much difficulty
okej, I'll try.... 
I'll do that for you if you provide both account information and pay me the amount you offered.

I'll do it for 75Frihost$, Just PM me the location you want it moved from, the location you want it moved to, your a forum administrator account and a new forums administator account, ftp access in both locations and I should be able get it done in record time.
I can do it without creating new accounts and you will still regain old account without losing data.
Beat me supersonic.
I did alot of phpBBs in this forum, you can ask them for reviews.

No. It won't be useless soon 
U can also use you're old url and put a link at you're new site. No frih$ to be payed 
n0obie4life, supersonic: Why can't you just tell me how to do? I don't like the idea of other people having controle of my website...
Just tell me how to do and I'll give you the frih$.
FireFoxDB: It's better to have everything at the same place, and I don't care much about frih$ anyway...
I'm not good when it comes to explaning, sorry.
Good luck on it doh.
What I can tell you is, you backup your mySQL database through phpMYadmin.
Create a new database here in frhiost, then import the SQL database that you backed up..depending on the size, it may or may not give you an error. if it does, you'll have to use a bigdump (google for it).
Then after that, go to filemanager, edit config.php. Change the vars to what this server gives you. (An example is below, where I typed "CHANGE", thats what you need to change)
| Code: | <?php
// phpBB 2.x auto-generated config file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbname = 'CHANGE';
$dbuser = 'CHANGE';
$dbpasswd = 'CHANGE';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
?> |
then you are set.

This worked fine for me so it should for for you:
What you do is in the phpBB ACP (admin control panel) backup your database w/ the backup function. Setup an new phpBB on your new website. When you get your new phpBB board setup go the the restore function in the ACP. Follow the directions there and the rest should work fine. If that doesn't work try downloading and installing a full backup mod from www.phpbb.com
Sound Easy Enough 
Hey its very simple,
If you go to the administration panel, on the left is an link with: BACKUP DATABASE, you can backup from one host and copy your /forum to the new host, and there you can restore the database!
it is so simple,, backup and restore..

That's what I just said, didn't you read. If you use this strategy I will get paid for it. Well execpt I said you restore the database throuhg phpbb, which is right.
Ah you can trust noobie Pixel, he has been here long and every one here knows and respects him too much for him to do any hunky dory+ He is good with phpBB. Or oviously you can do it yourself, just that you dont seem to confident of mysql,php.
So IMHO, paying noobie 100f$ might be a good idea.
BTW

lol, I am? 
I'm not very good with php or MySQL at all....
anyway, supersonic: I made it thanks to you and you will get paid just as I said.
Yes, shabda, I know something that you don't know of .
Anyway, user has sold that thing.
While I'm at it, supersonic, the backup function doesn't backup any custom tables (ie from cash mod etc), so, if anything screws up for him, good luck, your going to fix it yourself.
