    I was wondering something.. I just moved to a new host with my domain.. did upload my site backup of my previous host..but now i have problems with the msqyl database.. i did backup that one aswell but i cant upload it it seems.. now i wonder how important is dat database concerning old posts and comments etc? can i just make a new one without destroying anything or do i have to upload the old one to make it all work good?
    I also gonna upgrade my wordpress but i first want my old one to work

    If you don’t want to loose your old posts and comments – it is very important. All the content is stored in the database, not in files!

    What did you try to import the old database? Describe it step by step…

    You do NOT “upload” the database backup. You have to restore it in the phpMyadmin.

    Especially then ??
    That’s the only way to move an existing blog’s content from one server to another.
