Paul. Please tell me what you are trying to do? Choose A or B or is it something else?
A) Are you moving the Joomla website from one server to another server? B) Is the Joomla site on the same server and you moved it to a different part of the server or did you delete the old Joomla site and reinstalled a new one? I am assuming that you are trying to do A. If that is the case, here is a tutorial that worked for me. It's old, but PHPMyAdmin hasn't changed much in the past four years. http://www.howtojoomla.net/2006092518/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-export-your-joomla-database-with-phpmyadmin On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 4:36 PM, Paul Elliott <[email protected]> wrote: > So how would i do it right? > > On Oct 6, 2010, at 4:32 PM, Stephen Britton wrote: > >> If you can't see the data in PHPAdmin than the data was not imported >> properly. >> >> Tell me more...
