 * Hi!
 * I am moving a wordpress installtion from one **Godaddy** hosting account to another.
 * Every time I try to restore my back up database following error occurrs :
 * **“Script timeout passed, if you want to finish import, please resubmit same 
   file and import will resume”**
 * I tried resubmitting but it doesn’t work. I have also tried copy pasting database
   file which returns, “Server time out”
 * My back up database file is 20 mb
 * Kindly help
    Thank you 🙂

 * Have you contacted GoDaddy support? I have found they are very helpful when it
   comes to DB problems on their server.

 * Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have been on 30-40 minutes long calls (mostly on
   hold).
 * They suggested copy paste (which did not work either) when import did not work.
   They have now suggested to use mysql workbench, I have no idea how to use that
   🙁

 * If your still on hold with them, ask them to explain step by step. If they don’t
   know, ask for a hosting tech.
