It would seem you are well on your way. Take a read through the instructions in Transferring Your Board to a New Host or DomainSo, we need to figure out how to get it over to it's new home on the new server. We zipped and downloaded the directory tree. We also did an export of the SQL DB, and now have 2 files, but we are kind of stuck now about what to do with them. I tried and upload/extract of the files, and an import of the SQL file, but nothing worked, I guess because the DB is looking for very different directories and DB name thna it had before.
Once you get the transferred board up and running you can use the following.A final spanner in the works is we do not have the admin UN and PW so need to reset those in the DB.
In phpMyAdmin, run the following, which will create an admin user named Admin1 with a password of admin. From that point you should be able to get into the ACP.
Code:
INSERT INTO phpbb_users (user_type, group_id, username, username_clean, user_regdate, user_password, user_email, user_lang, user_style, user_rank, user_colour, user_posts, user_permissions, user_ip, user_birthday, user_lastpage, user_last_confirm_key, user_post_sortby_type, user_post_sortby_dir, user_topic_sortby_type, user_topic_sortby_dir, user_avatar, user_sig, user_sig_bbcode_uid, user_jabber, user_actkey, user_newpasswd) VALUES (3, 5, 'Admin1', 'admin1', 0, '21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3', 'admin@example.com', 'en', 1, 1, 'AA0000', 1, '', '', '', '', '', 't', 'a', 't', 'd', '', '', '', '', '', '');phpbb_See Executing SQL Queries in phpMyAdmin if you are unfamiliar with running database queries.
As soon as you have done this, use the temporary admin account to change the details on the original admin account, then delete the temporary account.
This is because:
- anyone could use that account to log in to your board if you didn't change the password.
- this temporary user has not been fully set up (e.g. it is not a member of the "Registered users" group, so it won't have normal access to your forums).
