[URGENT!] Moving my website.
Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 7:00 pm
Hello,
I'm moving one of my bigger sites to smokyhosts, but i have some problems...
1) I was using php5, and apparently i can't upload a .htaccess file to the server, so i can't change the handler to read them as php5 files.
2) I can't upload the database, it has 70mb aprox. and i can't do it through phpmyadmin. So someone suggested to do this:
When i do it it asks me for the password of the database... BUT I CAN'T PUT IT!
I can't write when it asks for the password, and then i press enter and it says it needs the password...
3) Even though i can't upload the database yet, when i try to access the forum (I'm using SMF by the way), i get an Internal Server Error: 500... which i don't know if it's normal, but just in case i mention it.
I can't have it offline for a long time, so PLEASE help me :S
Thanks!

Code: Select all
Upload the .sql file somewhere on your VPS and run the following command through SSH to restore the database.
mysql -u dbusername -p databasename < backup.sql
(replace dbusername and databasename with your database username and database name respectively; change backup.sql to the file name)I can't write when it asks for the password, and then i press enter and it says it needs the password...
