if you can not issue a create table command then i dont know what type of server you are hosted on. if you cant create a table you cant really use a database as a database is full of tables that need to be created. at this point without seeing your files and server i am not sure what can be done to help you.

asduskun

ok the answer i got from my hosting is below so what should i do?

You have to create a database using cPanel-->MySQL Databases and then go to cPanel-->phpMyAdmin and use that to import the table structure and data into the new database.

"What errors did you get when you tried?
This has to be an SQL dump, not the physical database.
If the dump included the 'CREATE DATABASE' command, it will not work. You have to make a copy of the dump (always keep a backup if you are editing) and edit out the database creation instructions. "

and the error i got from database import is below


SQL sorgusu:

CREATE DATABASE `asduskun` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_german2_ci;


MySQL çıktısı: 
#1007 - Can't create database 'asduskun'; database exists

and how can i edit it to make it work?

Illori

remove that line starting with create database from your dump file.

asduskun

Shall i attach my database here? Because when i remove that line i get different errors

Illori

please do NOT attach your database here, as it contains information about your users. what errors do you get after removing that line?

MrPhil

Some hosts permit you to create a database using SQL statements, while others require you to use tools such as phpMyAdmin. Ask your host. Are you sure you need to create a database? It sounds like you already have one. You may or may not need to empty it out first.

You need to understand what's in your backup (.sql) file, and what it's trying to do. Then you can look at what you already have and decide what manual actions you need to take before you can import that backup. For example, if the backup does not include any CREATE TABLE commands, you would have to set up the tables first.

please do NOT pm anyone to get them to reply to your thread/issue, if and when anyone knows the answer they will reply we are all volunteers around here.

If this is to be a "live" forum, you want to restore to "smf_admin_info_files" (and similarly for other tables). You'll have to change the name in the CREATE TABLE statement (and likely, the INSERT INTO statements too). The error message is quite obvious -- you already created a backup_smf_admin_info_files table at some point, and you're trying to CREATE it again, without first destroying (DROPping) the current copy, or renaming either the existing copy or what the new one will be named.

#29
so ok but how can i do that exactly? can you tell step by step, what do you mean "dropping" how will i do that or what will i rename, i just exported database and wanted to import it, i didn t know this would cause these problems

asduskun

You don't touch the .sql file. You go into phpMyAdmin (your database administration tool) and go to each 'backup' table and click on the DROP tab.

If your backup file (.sql) just CREATEs each table without first DROPping the old one, you will need to manually DROP the duplicated tables (in phpMyAdmin) before importing the .sql, which will CREATE new tables.  Note that a database with "backup_" in the table names is useless for SMF -- if you want to use that backup, you either need to edit the .sql file to remove all "backup_" from names (it will then create tables "smf_whatever...", or I think that phpMyAdmin has a function to rename existing tables (since you've obviously already read in the backup once, why do it again?). Anyway, you want to end up with just tables "smf_whatever..." rather than "backup_smf_whatever...".

I can't figure out what language this is (it doesn't translate as German), but I do see DEFAULT misspelled as DEFAULTT. That is what the error message seems to be complaining about. Change DEFAULTT to DEFAULT.
