    Problem solved by using manual sql entries within phpAdmin to upload a little bit at a time and populate the database.

    I clicked on the SQL tab in phpAdmin and pasted lines from the backup.sql into the window and clicked ‘Go’. A little tedious, but worked like a charm.

    I also had to manually change the siteurl and home references using these commands.

    REPLACE INTO wp_options VALUES (1, 0, ‘siteurl’, ‘Y’, 1, ‘http://newsite.com’, 20, 8, ‘WordPress web address’, 1, ‘yes’);

    REPLACE INTO wp_options VALUES (46, 0, ‘home’, ‘Y’, 1, ‘http://newsite.comy’, 20, 8, ”, 1, ‘yes’);

    There was also a define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘xxx’); problem. My provider had changed the host that the database was on and I didnt notice the change.

    So except for a few plugin issues (the old site was WP 1.5.2 and the new site is WP 2.2.1) it is up and running at http://CozumelGringo.com .

    Thank you for the response MichaelH, however, I have had no luck with support at the provider. I believe if I cant figure out how to do it myself, I will just have to change providers where I have real access via ssh or the like. The folks at the previous provider have been quite helpful, but they cant do much on the receiving end.

    I am working through the various other posts similar to this to see if I can glean any wisdom that will help me. I was just hoping to get a more knowledgeable person, willing to assist directly.

    I worked on this all last night and will probably be at it tonight until I can solve the problem. I usually manage to get the problem solved, I am just so slow. The old brain just doesnt multi-task as well as it once did. Who am I kidding, it doesnt multi-task at all any more.

    Ok, now I can get in on my laptop. I didnt really do anything but clear the cache on the laptop. I did that last night. I thought I had tried to login since then but I must have mistyped the password or something. I tried now and got in.
    Thanks for the help.

    On which machine? The one that logs in or the one that want? Or is there a cookies file on the server which needs emptying?
