How to import a database?

Post by TeXnik »

I wanted to install MLE 1.6 on local server before putting it on the web. The installation went smoothly and I was able to add languages.

When I import the database backup with phpmyadmin, the import breaks with error message  xxx exist already. I check the content of the file and there was always the condition if xxx not exist cretae xxx. So I do not know what caused this error.

I am reluctant to create an empty database after installation and import the database there because Iam afraid that the fields might not be compatible.

Any suggestion how to proceed.

- Install in a new local DB
- When finished (has create a correct config.php), delete all tables in this DB and import your online DB
- Run install/upgrade.php
- Go in admin General Settings > MLE languages
