Hey guys,

I did a ton of work on a new nuke site, and now I need to basicly move the site to another web host.

Basicly I need to export the database from the site I did all the work on, install a new copy on a different web server, then import the database and graphics from the site i did all the work on to the new site.

If possible, how exactly would I accomplish this?

I see that in the nuke CPanl, you can create a backup of the database "database.sql" for example...but I do not see any option to IMPORT it to the new site.

Am I missing something?...will someone PLEASE take a few minutes to type me up a breakdown of the process?

Thanks guys...I DO appreciate any and all help.

phpMyAdmin has an import routine. Just go to the SQL box and there usually is one.

For exceptionally large databases, you may not be able to upload the .sql file directly. I would recommend using the BigDump script to import your files.
