MySQL transfers to Dathorn

[markh]

Hi everyone,

As a potential new client, I'm in need of some info prior to signing on with Dathorn. I'm concerned about transferring my client's guestbooks from my current provider. The web site itself is no problem, but I do have concerns about transferring the MySQL databases. Can anyone provide insight as to how this can be done easily please?

Thank you in advance!

Here's one way of moving MySQL.

1. Log into phpMyAdmin
2. View each Database, clicking the "Export" tab on each.
3. Upload the SQL/GZ File(s) to Dathorn's phpMyAdmin to restore.
4. Edit the guestbook(s), etc. config file(s) to reflect on the new MySQL users/passwords.

I'd try setting up a test server on my own computer
and trying the export/import SQL data first, to make sure it'll work.

If it doesn't work, I *Think* that Dathorn can transfer it
for like 50¢ per site, though it only works if you have cPanel.
