Change this line : CREATE DATABASE `buxtonra_buxtonforum` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;
to this one :
CREATE DATABASE `buxtonr1_forumdb` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;
Please try that and let us know how you go! |
I cant change that as its an error message, and not text in the file bigdump.php |
It's in the database backup file you uploaded to the server!

It needs to be opened with Notepad++ . I believe that will be the correct file as it should contain the database as .sql refers to a sql file which is what the extension is when you backup a database from phpmyadmin without compression.
If you open it locally on your machine make sure you re-upload and update the file on the webserver.
If you can edit it via cPanel this may be easier.
Good Luck.

The sql file is your database backup file not bigdump.php
Open your backup file in a text editor such as Crimson Editor (free) or Notepad++ (also free) and near the beginning you will find the instruction to create the database. That is the instruction that Bigdump stopped at and reported an error with.
Delete that line and then just click "Save"
If you do not have a blank database ready to accept the tables and data contained in the SQL file (remember that is the backup one) then create one with whatever tool your host provides. Give it the same name as the original database.
Now replace your SQL file on the server with your edited one and run Bigdump again.

The most likely reason for that is that you selected "Extended inserts" when you made the backup sql file.
Bigdump will not work with "extended" inserts.
If you still have access to the original database then you should make the backup again but without the "extended" inserts.
An alternative to Bigdump is to split the sql file into several sections and then upload via the "Import" in phpmyadmin.
PM me your email address and I will send you a file splitter you can use.

Solved
Many thanks for everyones help, in particular Jim who went out of his way and above the call of duty to help me out by taking a close look at my database to see why bigdump would not process it, as well as the fact he altered a couple of forum files to install mods.
Many, many thanks.
Nik

If you are struggling around with such problems: use mysqldumper on the old and the new host and it might work directly.
Great that you solved it though!
