    Do you know how to move MySql databases? I need someone I can trust..

    This is giving me a headache trying to figure out,,,,
    I'm trying to move all my sites & need to do it without any downtime.. This means moving all the content & databases off the old host to the new one & then once everything is completed & in working order, then I can change the dns once it is all properly functional.. (How do I check it, if the dns isnt changed)..

    anyway.. this is a ballbuster for me because I don't know how to move MySql & really don't know anything about it at all, so am looking to pay somebody to do it for me,,,,

    I need someone I can trust.. Trust is important as you'll have access to ftp of both hosting accts, as well as all the db info, etc....

    also, payment will be via paypal.....



    Leave your email, icq, price & I'm going to want reputable references...I need to be sure my shit isnt going to get fucked with.. like jacking my sites or DB/domains, etc...

      well, the new host has phpmyadmin. the old host does not...

      I see under manage databases it has an export option.. so, I got an old blog database i could fuck with because the blog was deleted, so i clicked export thinking this was the option to send that table to the new host or something.. anyway, that does not look like it does this as it gave me a text file of the table, so i go to the other host hoping for an import option or a create table option & was thinking i could copy the tables 1 by 1 until the whole db was finished..

      I'm ready to just fucking dump all of it & start over....

          $10 per DB or $40 an hour, whichever winds up being cheaper. You didnt say how many need to be moved.

          ICQ in my sig. Can do this sometime this evening.

          As far as checking to see if your DNS changes have propagted, you can just ping your domain and see if it resolves to the IP of your new host or your old host.

                  Export your databases and save them to your harddrive.

                  At your new host, use the phpmyadmin to import your exported data into your new databases. Just choose your database, click on the "SQL" button, and then browse your harddrive for your data file and press 'Go'.

                      if you are doing that on your new host that makes sense, there is nothing there

                      ypou need to setup phpmyadmin on your old host and export from there

                      I am taking a nap right now, but I will be back in about 2 hours, if you still don't have it done I will give you a hand

                        Do you have shell access to the old host?

                          i setup db on new host.. i went to phpmyadmin on old host & exported & saved file as an .sql i went to new host phpmyadmin & did what he said in the above post & got the results i posted...

                          the export options are ;

                          SQL

                          LaTeX

                          CSV for Ms Excel data

                          CSV data

                          XML

                          I chose sql as looks like the obviously correct one to me..


                          so, next to this are sql options with check boxes;
                          Structure ( i have checked)
                          Add 'drop table' ( i do not have checked)
                          Add AUTO_INCREMENT value (i have checked)
                          Enclose table and field names with backquotes (i have checked)


                          underneath is another option;
                          Add into comments Creation/Update/Check dates ( i do not have checked)

                          then after that is
                          Data ( i have checked)(& the next 3 not checked)
                          Complete inserts
                          Extended inserts
                          Use delayed inserts
                          & under that is a selction box ; Export Type & options are insert, update, & replace.. I had insert selected..


                          then saved as file w/ __DB__ template & no compression

                              Hmm. I'd be willing to help out, but i assume you probably don't know me - so trust will probably be an issue. I've helped BHC_Webmistress before with some FTPing, and that's about all the references i have.

                              But if you believe in the kindness of a stranger...

                                    thanks for the offer, but that's gonna be a step down from what I got... I'm leaving my current host to get a better deal on a bigger package..

                                    right now I got 150gigs storage & 1500 gigs bandwidth, on old host I only got 250 gigs bw & thats why I am moving...

                                    The host I am moving from has a price match guarantee, but I seriosuly doubt they will honor it when they find out how much I am paying for 1500 gigs... I'd stay if they did match it, but the new host has plenty more advanced options that my current host does not, like shell access, included in package ssl, etc.. all kinds of addons that cost extra at my current host

                                      NP, but the offer was not directed to you, but surfers looking here at the thread ...

                                      I have dedicated ( same specs ) with 2000 gigs/month , Cpanel/WHM/ 160 gigs storage for 169.00 ... no set up...

                                      But for your DB, try either solutions I posted ... It should work.
