 Posted: Sun Jun 04, 2006 4:19 am Post subject: Question about phpBB forums |
 |
|
A couple of years ago when I created my own website, I went with a template based host.  Unfortunately that did not include phpBB hosting so I went with www.noonhost.com. Now I have moved to a proper web host and would like to host my message boards on my own web host. I have 420 members and 1173 articles. Does anyone know a non messy way to import all the posts into my own phpBB board? Or am I doomed to always have my forum hosted on noonhost?  |

Hi,
I'm quite sure that you can just export the entire SQL table (with data) over to your new host plus the files.
Give it a try, you can't hurt your current installation, just use phpMyAdmin (I'm sure your current host gives you that option) to export the file and go to your new host and import it. It'll create the structure and data and then move over the same files. Make sure you've set up the user accounts to be the same username and passwords. Remember to not delete anything!
Also, I've seen some migration tools over at phpBB which might help you. |
