Hi,
I am trying to restore a backup of a WordPress site using the MySQL database. I have unzipped the files in the directory, created a new database and user with all privileges and modified wp-config file with the new database information. Then I go to import the mysql database from the backup in PHPMyadmin but get the following error message:
#1044 - Access denied for user 'mycpanelusername'@'localhost' to database 'olddatabase_name'
After reading through these forums I then tried to modify the database before importing. I changed the database name to the new one, but then I get a different error message:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
-- version 4.0.5
-- http://www.phpmyadmin.net
--
-- Host: lo' at line 1
I don't get what I am doing wrong? I've done imports from backups before with different websites, but have never had this problem before? If anyone knows what the problem is I would really appreciate the help?
Thanks!
