I have a phpBB running on a different host.  It's version 2.0.8.

I have opened a lunar account and installed phpBB 2.0.14 version and have created a new db with nothing in it yet.

I have been trying to use the phpMyAdmin tool on Lunar to upload the old db to the new one.  Here are the steps I'm taking

1.  go to control panel, click on My SQL
2.  click on phpMyAdmin link
3.  select db from pick list on left
4.  click MySQL button at top
5.  go to Browse, pick the old db file from my hard drive and hit GO

It just times out.

Any ideas?

You may want to upgrade the board at your old host first, so no database errors occur.

If it's a large file, you can ask LunarPages' support to import it for you.

We upgraded the old forum to 2.0.15.  Then upgraded the lunar site (without our db) to 2.0.15.  Then tried to import our db - it failed.  Lunarpages support just imported it for us and it's all screwed up now.  Looks like we are back to square one with no idea how to get this done.
