Move Whole Site - CPanel to Cpanel?

[BungBung]

Ok I am wondering, and I searched the forum and nothing came up for me, so i'm going to ask, is there a way to do an automated CPanel to CPanel site transfer? I'm on a wacky 3g connection and my installation of MyBB on my old closing host is I think 107mb. I also already update my nameserver info but I still have access to the original setup IP address and can still access my old CPanel. Any help would be great as rebuilding is possible but i'd rather not, you know?

Suggest you make a full backup of your old cpanel and park the dot.tar folder in your new cpanel. Once it's in there let us know.

Ok so after several time-outs on FileZilla and my iffy 3g connection, I uploaded the .tar.gz to my /public_html/ folder. I have NO idea what to do next as I have never done this before... :huh:

I also uploaded my 860.2k database backup, i'm not sure if I needed to do that, but it's also in the /public_html folder...

I think I just messed everything up. :mega_shock:

Yeah I messed everything up. Any help would be appreciated...

Best thing to do is wait the staff to work it out for you, if You have uploaded your backup files from another cpanel. There is cPremote in cpanel but I don't know if it will work because the backup file is different.

Yeah I don't know what I did... Maybe they can just.. Yeah I dont know... I've never moved something like this and now i'm getting a MyBB error:

MyBB SQL Error
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1045 - Access denied for user 'bungbung_mybb925'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Query:
[READ] Unable to connect to MySQL server
Please contact the MyBB Group for technical support.

I feel like such a moron at the moment... Maybe they can save the 100mb tar.gz file I uploaded and reset the account? I am just at such a loss right now... I guess I should have waited...

It is a database error. You should check your database username and password. Is it match in myBB database config and your current database.

You know, that's a good question. I've just deleted it all except for my backup tar.gz and database backup...

What is the file type/extension of the database backup file?
If it is sql, or a compressed file contain .sql file, You can restore your database using import function of PhpMyAdmin.

I believe it is sql.gz compressed...

And then You can import the file using PhpMyAdmin and you will get the database. And don't forget to create database user in cpanel and grand access to the imported database earlier.

I think I tried all that and nothing happened, it still gave me that error.

Just in case an admin comes on to help, and i'm not here, i've moved both tar.gz backup and sql.gz database backups to my home folder. I had it in public_html but I don't want anyone who knows my URL to be downloading my zips...

---

I just thought of something else, IF I use Softaculous and do a standard MyBB install now and still try to recover my backup over that - will I be able to use the upgrade/auto upgrade feature from Softaculous? I kind of like to keep my MyBB installation the latest version.. Would that also make it easier to have the Softaculous backup feature?

Are you sure you have the correct config in MyBB Database configuration? Because from the error you mention above, its look like your configuration is not correct.

Honestly, at this point, I have no idea what i'm doing and I think I may just rebuild my forum from scratch. I want something that works and this downloading, reuploading on a flaky 3g connection, is just not working or happening for me... I was hoping it wasn't that much above my head but it is... I'm just wasting all my monthly data transfer allotment on my mess ups.. LOL

Just to put it in perspective, it took almost an hour to upload my 100mg tar.gz backup file and i'm not even too sure what to do with that either. I'm on a very flaky and limited 3g internet connection...

I don't know if this will work
You can install MyBB from softcaulus and then import the database from your backup. After that you can change MyBB fresh installed database config and you will get your old forum.

Yeah basically what i'm doing for now is, I reinstalled via Softaculous and i'm just reuploading my plugins, icons, smilies and themes and now i'm not knowing if it's such a good idea for me to mess with that, and it's the actual merging/importing of the database that scares me, I kind of just don't want to mess with that any more at this point... I don't know. I have to get some sleep and hopefully I can figure out what to do tomorrow...

 

[Genesis]

Yeah I messed everything up. Any help would be appreciated...

@bungbung

One can't reset a cpanel account. Only terminate and recreate it. So for now I've terminated your hosting account. Before I terminated it I noticed your .tar backup file, so downloaded it so un4saken can use it to do a cpanel to cpanel installation of your account.

Please be patient until un4saken has had a chance to sort it out.

Ah thank you so much... :clapping:

Hi there @"BungBung"

Your account is created and your backup is restored.

You can login to your cPanel with the info i sent you earlier.
