That being said: You don't say and it's risky to assume if you can do any other tasks on the new server. In other words, is it running at all? You don't say which of SQLyog's methods you used to create the backup. In this case, I would have used DB -> Export Database as Batch Scripts and I would save the file as <somefile>.sql and transfer that file to the mysql/bin directory on the new system. Assuming mysqld is running on the new system, cd to the mysql/bin subdirectory and type ./mysql -uusername -ppassword < somefile.sql Of course, all the foregoing syntax for re-installing presumes *n*x. I move databases from my local windows system to a remote *n*x site frequently using the above process and it is very reliable and repeatable. hth, Doug -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
