How would I import database info into a new forum if I were to start from scratch? Right now it wont accept my database info do i need to change prefix so it id accepted?

How do I save the database data?
How do I restore the database data?

I personally export from phpMyAdmin including data and drop tables, then import.  The size of the db can be a factor in the process required to upload a database.

ok I have exported my data now do I delete this database and create a new one? Also I see no option to import.

[gizmonel]

Ok deleted old database, created new one and can not get access now this is so frustrating

[gizmonel]

WOOHOO got SMF installed again but now how do I import all the data from my old file? Do I just insert table?

[Rumbaar]

Did you read the links I provided?

[gizmonel]

Yes of course but I see no import action in myphp

[Rumbaar]

In phpMyAdmin, select the database name.  You should now see a tab for IMPORT.  If it's largish, then you might have to use BigDump (which is a great resource).

FYI, there is a duplicate topic over here that has gone past the import stage. I'm locking it and directing replies to this one so it doesn't split efforts.

Rumbarr I found out how to import with my phpmyadmin version

Ok great progress on getting forum back up and running accept a few errors with themes, I only have one theme installed (core theme) but yet when I go to admin theme section I still get a list of all other themes I had how can I clean this list up and only have core listed until I find a new template?

Is this possible?

Also the user names text is in white when I click on "users online" at bottom of screen, when I click on this and the users online list hows up the user name is in white can I make this black? And will this change be universal when I upload new themes?

Thanks in advance.

You might want to start new topics for your new specific issues.

This can help support know what is outstanding and also help any future searches for specific issues and solutions.  When you have a single thread with a mixture of on going issue it can be hard for anyone else coming in to know what is what and offer assistance.  This is also why it's best to limit one topic per issue and not cross post.

Also when doing so, try to make subject titles as short and descriptive as possible.
