Moving A Forum - Moving forums

Accure
Hey, I'm going to put up a MyBB forum up on my host soon. Is there a possibility to transfer all the old posts from my current host -> trap17 host? Will i need to copy the whole MySQL database and paste it to the trap17 host? or can i just access the adminpanel and make a backup, then put that backup through trap17.com up again?

QUOTE

MyBB:
MyBulletinBoard (abbreviation: MyBB) is a freeware [2], visible source bulletin board system software package developed by the MyBB Group. It is written in PHP, using MySQL databases to store data


Hope to hear from you soon, Thanks!

Not only for you, for everyone who wants to move their site to another hosting, should copy all files and download whole mysql databases in their old hosting.
And then upload all files to the new hosting, and run the sql of downloaded mysql database in phpmyadmin in your new cpanel. (If your database is too big, you should split into pieces to run your sql.)
Some of database names could be changed or the path of script could be changed. So edit your config.php or configuration.php to the latest. After all these your site should work properly in your new hosting. wink.gif

If you haven't done any modifications to your MyBB board all you need to do is backup your mysql DB and reimport it to your trap17 account. Afterwords just extract your MyBB files into your new directory. This will save you the hassle of having to download a full ftp backup and then re-uploading the whole thing. But all posts, threads, forum etc are saved in the db.

    For those of you who are hosted on Trap17 and using phpBB3.0.x you might want to consider adding
    some mods... Some mods which I extremely highly recommend to get is: #1 "Anti-Bot Question" mod,
    which adds a question like "can you see through glass?" (not actual example, result may vary),
    according to many people who have tried the mod, it is REALLY useful at keeping low-medium level
    advanced bots at bay, although some extremely complex advanced bots may still get through... I
    personally don't have this mod, but I would install it if I have the time to... #2 "Evi....
