1) upload the file with database to your forum folder
2) open bigdump.php and locate the following lines:
Quote
// Database configuration

$db_server   = 'localhost';
$db_name     = '';
$db_username = '';
$db_password = '';

3) fill in those fields with your database details
4) scroll down to find:
Quote$db_connection_charset = 'utf8';
and make sure you have the correct encoding there
5) upload the bigdump to the same folder as database file
6) type in in your browser:
Quote
your_forum_address/bigdump.php
7) you will see the bigdump screen, select the database file and click it
8) wait for bigdump to finish

for example:- i should upload bigdump.php in a file named dump and should upload it to my file system??u said with database,so i should also upload database backuped file in that folder??

Why would you rename anything? The name of the file is bigdump.php, don't change it just upload.
Same for database - upload database to the same folder as the script.

I'm sorry I cannot be more clear than that.
