I'm trying to migrate a 3.3.5 phpBB to a new hosting company as the old one is closing down. I have a text mode backup of the old MySQL dBase but it keeps failing to import into the new server via CPanel, with permission errors. So not really a phpBB issue at all but can any suggest a forum etc to look at to help with this?

OK - this has been sorted thanks. The dBase backup contained lines to create a new dbase which my hoster (iFastNet) does not allow. If I edited out the 'make new db' lines I could then import the old dBase into an empty new one.
Everything now seems OK.
Thanks for the help.
