Database Import on New Host

Post by RushB »

So, I find myself trying to import a database to a new host.

It's throwing me off because my old host used the regular phpbb_ and the new host created them as phpbbli_

What is my best course of action to import my database to the new host?

Thanks,
RushB

After successfully importing the new database tables, you should also drop the tables in the database using the phpbbli_ prefix. You will likely need to edit the config.php file to change the $table_prefix variable there.
