Importing a SQL

Question

Hi,

I used to have a Q2A website then I shut it down. I have a SQL backup of the website. How can I integrate my older SQL to a fresh Q2A website?

Thanks,

You can simply create a new database, import the old database to that and give the details in qa-config.php. I suppose you might be missing some incompatible plugins - thats all.

create database qa;

grant all privileges on qa.* to myuser@'localhost' identified by 'mypassword';

Then import the database

mysql -u myuser -p qa <qadump.sql

Thank you for your answer, I will try it tonight. Do you mind if I asked you more questions considering that I could'nt import it.
