Transferring mysql data base from old server (4 posts)

    I am trying to transfer a WP site from Register to Go Daddy. I have downloaded my WP files and MySQL files. When I try to upload the MySQL files in the Starfield Application at the back end of my Go Daddy account the data base corrupts. I was told I have to use a data base download wizard. Is that true? Does anybody know which one? I am really struggling with this and am also running out of time. Thanks

    Can you import the database via phpMyAdmin or use the MySQL command line?

    I don't know how to use the MySQL command line. Nor do I know how to import using phpMyAdmin. I did download a data base download wizard called Razor SQL that allowed me to open the file. Is that what you mean?

    Contact your hosting provider. They should be able to help you import the database.
