ok, cleared cache. good

but.... that infinite refreshing script. that's my 404 page. it's trying to redirec to an error page residing on my forum, but that's not there, so it's a 404 loop. but that shouldnt happen in the first place. derangedtaco.com/live and derangedtaco.com/store DO exist, they're not just showing up. why is this?

and, how can i put my sql databases back?

You must check if there is a file named index in the folders derangedtaco.com/live and derangedtaco.com/store, unless that exists, the error will continue.

Regarding your database restore....
You may create a database in the mySQL section of the cpanel. Then go to phpmyadmin, **** on the database where you want to restore it. then **** on SQL. There you will find a text area and an area where you can upload your database to restore it. For further reference, you may refer to the guide/**** at http://www.phpmyadmin.netw

well, there is a file. index.htm. i was asking before if it needed to be index.html, i was thinking that was the problem.

k, i'll try restoring my db's

edit:
dangit
when i'm uploading my gzipped backup of my forum
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 91

in my cpanel i have it setup correctly too:
Databases:
deranged_dtforum

Users in dtforum
deranged_derange (Privileges: ALL PRIVILEGES)

why doesnt anything work :roll:

Web server doesnt care if it is .htm or .html or .shtm or .shtml or .php and so on as long as the name of the file is index.

well i assure you... index.htm does reside in those two directories.

and pls look at my edited post above

Regarding the redirection....
If the index file is present, then there might be some problem in the script of that redirection file. Please checkup

Regarding the database restore....
That error
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/libraries/read_dump.lib.php on line 91
occurs if your database is too large. If so, you will have to break it up into two or three peaces in such a way that the server is able to execute the restore command in maximum of 300 seconds.

wow. please explain to me how. i have absolutely no idea.

i will check the index pages

You will have to simply copy and paste half of the code into a different .sql file and then upload it. Once this is restored, you may then do the same for the second half.

k i fixed the index pages problem.

sql is still screwed up.

i broke up the sql into about 10 files........ each file started with a "CREATE TABLE" statement, and ended before a new "CREATE TABLE" statement. i just wanted to make sure that everything would work

and of course, it didn't. somehow, some friggin how, it still doesn't work. see for yourself derangedtaco.com/forum
WHY does this not work!@!!! i thought switching hosts would just take a day or two

To be frank, switching host may take no more than a couple of hours if know perfectly what and how to do.
In your case, mail me your database, i shall restore it for you. PM me to take my email id.
