Ok, I have a question and would preferable ask if its possible as well. Currently I have a phpbb forum (version 2) placed among another server. Thing is I would like to import it among my trap17 account, as this is the place I intend to stay as its so great. Problem is I have about 40+ users already registered among that forum and have several mods implemented within it as example Cash Mod, Jobs Mod, Rank Banners etc and fiblack template. I have tried using a few guides in trying to copy my database over here but to no avail it is rendered useless. So in short is there anyway I can get my forum transferred over to my trap17 account along with my database? Help would be appreciated ^^.

have you transferred all the php/html files over?
use phpmyadmin on the old server to 'export' the data to a file in sql format.
ftp that file to the trap17 account and then 'import' it after you have the new phpbb2 set-up using the files you transferred.
Don't forget to alter all the configuration information. like db name, user name and the urls which have changed.

this would be an outline of what you need to do. I would ask around on the phpbb support forum for detailed procedure.

This problem still continues to rise when I try to upload my Sql file here on trap17, the PhpMyAdmin states:

#1044 - Access denied for user 'beatrix'@'localhost' to database 'beatrix_phpb1'

I'm not sure how to get around this. Did anyone get such an error that is able to help me?

Uploading your backup database is not the complete process.

You have to create the same "phpb1" database name. Create a user name and give full access permission to phpb1. Using your cpanel beatrix becomes your prefix to all database name.

Once you created and given permission, your database should use the same information to access to your forum database. This may require a quick edit session. Edit the forum database name, user name and its password.

Thanks guys that worked perfectly! Though I have one more problem. The forum seems to doesn't recognize my username and password which was used for the forum back then. Can someone please help me ;-;.

EDIT: Wee! No worries guys ^^. I got everything to work. Thank you for your patience and your well written details on transferring my forum. Trap17 always~
