I have a forum at my site that is located on wrong server and I want to move everything that has been writed to the new server. I have made a backup of my old database and when I try to restore the database I get this error message:

Code:
General Error
Error importing backup file

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1007 Can't create database 'pixelplayer_se'. Database exists

-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump -- version 2.6.4-pl2 -- http://www.phpmyadmin.net -- -- Värd: localhost -- Skapad: 21 december 2005 kl 19:51 -- Serverversion: 4.0.25 -- PHP-version: 4.3.11 -- -- Databas: `pixelplayer_se` -- CREATE DATABASE `pixelplayer_se`

You need to import the database using phpMyAdmin

Go in to DirectAdmin/cPanel and there should be a 'phpMyAdmin' link. Use the 'SQL' function from within that to restore the database.

If reinstalling and uninstalling and stuff like that is what you can answer, please don't Smile.

Do not use the built in restore and backup function in phpBB. It actually SCREWS UP your forum is it's modded. No, I'm not lying.

Always use phpmyadmin to backup and restore. And, if your database is bigger than 5mb-10mb use a bigdump.

I've got a new problem now^^
This is the code I see when I try to restore my phpBB-database.

Code:
General Error
Error importing backup file

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1062 Duplicate entry 'config_id' for key 1

INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES('config_id', '1')

Line : 980
File : admin_db_utilities.php


What is wrong now?

Pixel, it would be better if you go to your phpMyAdmin (using the password/username of the database) and then remove all tables. There is also an option to upload .sql files, just upload that one to phpMyAdmin and all tables should be restored.
