error message when importing sql

[newvision]

I am running CMSMS 1.11.8 using the WAMP sever on a local machine. I created an export dump from phpMyAdmin to upload to the server once I installed CMSMS 1.11.8. I set up the database, etc on the server but wan not able to install cmsms. I kept getting an error message that I could not connect with the database. Their tech support people proceeded to install in a different location changing my datbase names, username and password, etc.

I asked them to unstall in tht location and install where I asked them to. Long story short, I was not able to import my sql dump file. AND I was not able to go back to the WAMP file becasue I had started to work with 1.11.9.

I then created a new folder in my localhost directory so sthat Icould do a fresh install of CMSMS 1.11.8 . I went to phpMyAdmun and created a new db. and performed afresh install. I then went back to phpMYAdmin to import the sql dump and now get the following error message. I do not know how to fix this. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

Can you import to an empty database? You can setup the config.php to that datebase and then run upgrade.php

[newvision]

I'll give that a try. Thanks

If you do a new install you will get at least one content page installed. I wouldn't be surprised if it has ID '15' in your database.

During EXPORT of database you have option to include drop table and create table commands iirc. Then, during IMPORT, all tables that are needed and already exist are dropped (deleted) and created again.

[newvision]

How so I do empty the database then do an upgrade?

How can I make sure that the db that I originally exported enables me to drop and create tables?

Is there a way that I can look at theat file and change that option if need be? I thought I always seleced that option.

So what do I do with the '15'?

Thanks

I can't advise on this issue as I don't know the export file you have. Plus I think this is an advanced subject. You should know what you're doing else don't do it.

[newvision]

So, YOU can't advise me on this issue. Can you tell me where I can find this out? I can't just drop the ball, here! I have full blown website that is not functioning now becasue the host installed it to a wrong location that messed up everything.

I appreciate your help. I am looking for suggestions on how I CAN resolve this. Politely telling me you think that I am in over my head is not helpful.

Can you please offer suggestions on how I CAN resole this.

Thanks!

OK:

Empty all tables from CMSMS typically prefixed with 'cms_'
Then import again.

OR

Drop all tables from CMSMS typically prefixed with 'cms_'
Then import again.

When I import a DB most times it's into an empty DB, if I have to import into an existing DB, using phpmyadmin I click the DB name on the left, it shows all the tables on the right, at the bottom I 'select all' then in the select next to it I choose drop which well remove all existing data/tables, then import new DB...

And then it appears to be a shared database... Thats why I mention the table prefix.
