    Half of my blogs are on a host provider that has been plaguing me with slow activity and downtime. I have obtained another host provider and was in the process of converting … I have setup name servers, FTP’ed my entire site over, make a backup of the mySql database of the OLD blog and … then I get errors.

    I contacted the new host provider and this is what they said:

    Your database is not being populated with the backup provided because it is written for the InnoDB MySQL engine. Unfortunately we do not support InnoDB, but MyISAM.

    Is there a way around this? Or, did I just waste money on a new host provider?

    I still can’t get my blog to work.

    I would still like to know what happens when you install a wordpress blog onto a restored database … does everything tie in? or, does everything get overwritten and my database gets destroyed?

    http://newmoonscribbles.com

    Here’s the wp-config.php file details…


    <?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('DB_NAME', 'newmoon_newmoon'); // The name of the database
    define('DB_USER', 'newmoon_petlvr'); // Your MySQL username
    define('DB_PASSWORD', '??????????'); // ...and password
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
    $table_prefix = 'moon_'; // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

    // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
    // to enable German language support.
    define ('WPLANG', '');

    /* Stop editing */

    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
    require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
    ?>

    (except password blanked out)
