I'm testing my site on my local host. I want to test moving it to another pc's localhost before moving it to my hosting co. I go to the ACP, select maintenance, backup type full, file type gzip and select all tables in the database. I click submit and It says it's completed successfully.
But it doesn't download anything to a compressed file. If I go to restore, it show my backup, but how does one restore it to another host?
I zipped up the phpbb folder and restored it to the "Other" host, and extracted it there. Overwrote a TON of files.
I then went to phpmyadmin, cleared all the data from the database, and restored it from an exported .sql file, which told me the process was successful. Except when I try to load phpbb I get the infamous: Access denied for user 'pauly'@'localhost' (using password: YES) [1045]
I wsa hoping I could fire up the BBS and use restore from maintenance.
