 * doodlebee) Hi, I’m the son trying to fix this. He copied all the wordpress files
   and then uploaded them onto the new site. It’s the same url, just on a different
   host, so I’m not sure what he needs to copy/paste. He does not have an actual
   backup file from phpmyadmin, just the files from the wordpress folder. What does
   he need to do for it to work?

 * Doodlebee,
    Thanks for your advice. My son is home from college on break and 
   trying to help me, but the problem is I did not know how to save my database 
   separate from a backup of all my files. (He did this for me on his computer at
   school, but he may have deleted it by now). I only have the back-up of all the
   old files, which I backed up directly fromt he old host. He thinks there should
   be a way to create a new database from the back-up files but is not sure. Is 
   there a way that is not very very difficult? My old server went out of business
   in January. I appreciate your advice and empathy.
 * Dan
