 * Hi,
 * I used to run a blog in my friend’s Server(Dreamhost). i want to migrate it to
   my own server so asked him to send me a database backup. i have also taken the
   backup of my templates.
 * In my DH panel, i used one click install for WordPress and Installed it. After
   that i run the wordpress setup by accessing the url and then created a admin 
   account.
    Now i am heading to the wordpress Db Restore, by loging to phpmyadmin
   of my DH server and i located the Db of my blog. With the help of Import tool
   of the phpmyadmin i imported the .sql file of my blog db.
 * After updation of the database i accessed the wordpress and i still see the hello
   world post. Did i mess up with something. In my phpmyadmin, i am able to browse
   to my updated database and all my previous posts and comments.
 * Ps. The Hostname and Db of my Database backup is different. i believe it has 
   nothing to do.
 * After the database restore do i have to ping wp for anything ?
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks
