 * I have wordpress installed (Version 1.5.1.3), I had it installed in the root 
   of my site. Originally installed via fantistico script library. Anyway I want
   to move this to a sub domain. This is a ideal opportunities to install it manually
   have a wee learning curve.
 * I managed to install it nae bother (version 1.5.2), now I want to move the database
   from one to the other, obviously the database names are different, what is the
   easiest way to import one database to the other?
 * Any ideas?

 * If you just want to make the new 1.5.2 WP use the old database. Make the appropriate
   database change in the wp-config.php file of the new WP, and then run the /wp-
   admin/upgrade.php.
 * Then go in and ensure that the Blog URI and WordPress URI is pointing to the 
   right thing.
