New Host, How Do I Bring Backup Database to New Host and Connecting? (3 posts)

    I have switched to a new webhost.

    I went in and created a new MySQL database, and need to figure out how to upload my old database.

    I've put in the new info on the wp-config.php file, but then the "backup" from my last host, what are those files that should be uploaded anew?

    Thanks for any help.

    I've found this document and am trying to follow it:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup

    I apparently got the "backup" to be "imported" but when I go to my blog, I get this error:

    Warning: main(/homepages/2/d179343965/htdocs/awake/blog/wp-includes/cache.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/2/d179343965/htdocs/awake/blog/wp-settings.php on line 255

    Problem resolved, had to upload files that the FTP continually seemed to overlook. Third time the charm!
