[email protected] Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 My year was up with one server and found so many server side problems that I decided to not use them after the first year online. My shipping module would load 70% of the time and scared off customers. Anyway, In 1.4.3, I backed up the DB, exported the customers, and did all I could find to do there. I also went into the server side and exported the databases as many ways as I could. Now, when I try to import into the new install, the data shows to be partially there, but will not import. When I try to import my sql file, it tells me it is password protected and I can't import. Is there any way to remove the password protection on the sql and import it into the 1.4.8? I am sort of newbie in all this, so I apologize if it has already been answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hat lady Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Look I am also relatively new at this.. but have changed hosts before and often the new host has the ability to transfer your full site over including DB (generally a free service) I recommend you ask them to do it, it saves so much hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[email protected] Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, I ended up giving up on it and just reloaded the new version on the new server. I lost all my old data (well it is backed up, but I can't seem to import it) I'm not a programmer, so some of it is way over my head, but I am a logical thinker, so not all of it is. When I tried to import my old customer export/backup, and then import it, not all the fields, nor the required fields, show up on the new version (ie password field and several others) it shows the left right scrollers, but nothing there to scroll to. On bringing in the old sql file, my new server requires a format in the name such as (user123_dbNAME) and is not the same as what I had. New server is Mochahost (if that helps with anything) old server was godaddy (what a huge problem there once they figure out you are leaving) I was having huge issues with scripts not running periodically and found them to be server side issues which they would not address. I really like the way presta runs, but finding some things to be a pain. Not sure why I can't get the state tax to work per shipping address, if I enable it, it charges to everyone, if I shut it off, it charges no one. Sorry about the newbieitis here!
