Hello everyone,

I have backed up all my wordpress files and databases of my wordpress blog so I can import these to my new host. Everything is going fine and have edited all the code to make the blog work on the new urls etc. I have created a different database with different details than my old one in phpMyAdmin and am trying to import .sql file to my new database. Although, when I upload it mid-way through I get this error:

SQL query:

?– phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
— version 2.8.0.1

— Table structure for table wp_commentmeta

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_commentmeta ;

MySQL said:

#1064 – You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘???

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_commentmeta‘ at line 1

I have no idea what the problem is, and to be honest: I have editted something at the top since I was having a different error. To make life easier I will post the top bit of the original unedited .sql file that I backed up and also the new one I editted.

Orignal back-up (unedited):

The reason for me editing the file was because an error popped-up saying that I cannot create a new database, as you can see in the first few lines the .sql commands to make a new database with the following details. Although the host only allows databases to be created through their panel. So I editted this tiny bit out so it would only import the tables.

THE PROBLEM IS: To be honest, this was the first time of me editing .sql files therefore I am unsure whether I have done it the right way or not. And I am most certain that this may have caused the problem.

So is there anyone expert out here that can help me out please! I would be hugely thankful! Thanks for your time.

Regards,

Shad

Your export is not valid SQL. The <code> and </code> tags should not be there. Those should be backticks. Did this forum’s parser convert those or do those show up in your file?

What software did you use to edit the file? Errors like that are the kinds of things you get when edit code with a word processor.

Oh no, sorry

In the original file they are indeed backticks, although someone in the process of pasting it has transferred to ` , don’t really know why?
Anyway here is the code again, this unedited version :

Hmm, sorry it even turned out worse.

How about I just give you the links to the whole files:

Here is the old one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojecl7rsyucdz83/custsql-ipg06.eigbox.net-BACKUP-OLD.sql

Here is the one that I’ve edited: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ib4k2aunjpce9ho/custsql-ipg06.eigbox.net.sql

Sorry for that!

Ok. What software did you use to edit the SQL file? If you used a word processor that could be the problem.

Also, there is a hash of your password in those dumps. If is a weak password or one subject to a dictionary attack, it could be brute forced. Please change that when your site goes back up.

You can try this : https://www.halty.net/wordpress-mover.php

It will move your blog and database automatically. No need to play with phpmyadmin.
