I'm hosted on jaguarpc and I'm moving from another host. My old host doesn't have telnet so I've got a phpmyadmin backup. The problem is phpmyadmin chokes on all the html when importing the database. How do I import it? I'm new, so I need detailed instructions please. Thanks in advance.

I think it's a glitch with phpmyadmin. Does you new host give you telnet access? If so, restore it from there, if you have the proper permissions.

If memory serves be correctly, this sytax should work once you are logged on to mysql via telnet.

mysql dbname < dbase.sql

I know nothing about telnbwet and yes i have acces, what do you mean logged on to mysql. Where should the backup be stored?

You probably should spend some quality time here:
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_toc.html
Then you will have a better understanding.

Thanks, does anyone know of another program that does pretty much the same thing as phpmyadmin but won't choke when restoring databases?

Ok, I restored the database through telnet but now get this error: Still no response from jag hosting :(

Any ideas? I've tried uploading these files again but won't work. Jag, please help!

Resolved the issue with the nice jaguarpc man.
