I hope your forum on the old site is still there, because what you showed me was not a MySQL database. Post it here on the forum and other people will tell you. Looks like something went wrong during the creation.

I am also having this problem. This is my first time restoring a database, but I am getting the same error.

my other host uses sql version 4.1.11 and x10hosting uses 4.0.25. Is there anyway to get it to restore the 4.1.11 databse so it works with mysql version 4.0.25?

Update: I am now getting sick of MySQL and phpMyAdmin, could someone else try and get mine to go - im now feeling sick and have a big migraine :(

You can download the .sql.gz file from

If these are db backups from inside the admin panel of ipb, would there be a chance of downloading a backup from your cpanel of the old host and using it instead on x10.

Are there or were there any errors on your board when you took the backup ? Any posts or topics that had attachments or anything that might be the cause of the problem ? Did you switch your theme or skin back to the default before you did the backup ? Just some ideas I had that might help.

oooh, that may be the problem. since my forum is a graphics forum, theres a psd section where the psd's are attached to the thread. but its not as easy as deleting the whole section since theres alot. and theres also an error on the staff page :S

My error keeps compaining about 'ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;'

Ill try and get a backup or something from VHCS (Virtual Hosting Control Panel) Pro or phpMyAdmin.

Is there a way to import backup files using PhpMyAdmin?

:( I cant restore a backup as the database name on the other hosting companies server is 'InvisionForum' and the cPanel database backup restoration thing gets stuck when creating database.

' Restoring Database

--------------
CREATE DATABASE `InvisionForum` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci
-------------- '

If you have access to phpmyadmin create a new db named the same as the old one with the same pw and try to import into that db
