Hi all,
I am moving my forum to a new domain, and I have mySQL database on my local computer.
The new host is ready with xenForo 2.8 installed and working properly with an empty db.
(cPanel and phpMyAdmin is available through my account at my host)
I uploaded my old db via ftp on to my server, but it is 289 MB in size,
and phpMyadmin only allows databases smaller than 50 MBs.
That's why I decided to make the old db smaller and leaner.
I only need my users back (without their past privilages) and old threads (to be archived, but searchable).
I am on a mac and installed MySQL and MySQL Workbench app.
I imported my old dB and am able to see the tables.
My plan is to locally export the tables in 3 or 4 (maybe more?) pieces and import them using phpMyAdmin on the server (cPanel availabe)
What would be your approach to make the new forum work?
As I said, I am totally new to this and I can't hire a developer at this stage to execute these tasks, yet.
I (and probably my users) don't care about avatars etc. I just need the threads, email addresses (to reconnect with the past users).
Thank you in advance, for any help. Appreciated.
