XF 2.0 Moving to new or importing old database

[tmoflash]

I moved xenforo 2.0 to another box.
I exported the file.sql and have locally. I imported into phpmyadmin to create a database.
I pointed to the database but I get a blank screen when visiting site.

I tried to log into admin area and it is telling me to use the app from my phone (I never set this up anywhere). Is there something I am missing?

Unless you have a extremely small forum using phpMyAdmin is often problematic. You need to use mysqldump to create the backup.sql and mysql to import the backup into a new database.

Thanks for reply I am doing this now. It was much easier than using phpmyadmin. It is still asking me for an authorization code or use an app to access, which is again strange because I never set this up. I am going back to original site and see if I had a 2 auth set up or something.

It is still asking me for an authorization code

You need to show a screen print so we can identify the type of authorization code being requested.

Here are the screenshots

What the forum looks like: https://prnt.sc/jzoew7

The Auth Codes it is asking for: https://prnt.sc/jzogep

Add this to the config.php file to eliminate the authorization code.

$config['enableTfa'] = false;

Sweet, I'll add that shortly. Once I get it added do I have to use tools to rebuild forums?

The tools are only used to fix specific issues. You would have to describe the problem first before giving advice on how to fix something.

I am able to get into the admin panel, but the forums are still balk - entire page is actually: https://prnt.sc/jzoew7
