Hi, A while ago my site was hacked, and everything was gone. That's why we decided to get the forum back up again, with a back up of our database (forum posts, members etc.). The problem is; The database is too big to upload and too big add in withPHPMyAdmin manually. Anyone has suggestions?
Contact your host, send them the file and they will probably help you with it. Is it compressed? And have you tried uploading it through the forum administration page?
Most forum administration pages do not have uploading SQL, you normally just import it through PHPmyadmin. But yes, Devastation pointed out to contact your host and send them then an SQL file. You could always try gzipping it first and importing it.
I run an IPB board, I have imported them before with some issues and no issues. But I wanted to know how big the file was to see if in fact it was too large to import.
Then why you can't you upload it through Cpanel/forum administrator. If I'm correct the max file size is like 50MB ?
None the less, try splitting it up. I\'ll show you spots in the SQL where you can Cut & Paste into another file, unfortunally I\'m at school right now and I can\'t say exactly off the top of my head.
