the .sql is only for uploading it through the acp you have to install the db first then upload that file then it should work.

@ acp ,there is not a option for restore the sql data.i just do that way,:created the mysql database(with username granted)install the forum using this mysql database.uploading the .sql file to that database via phpMyadmin.got erros.plz.

ok i figured it out in phpadmin export it as a xml file then reload it up in xml format your shouldn't have any problems with that.

thank you saint but still not work.error.does it should be the same database name/eg: there is guangdian_bbs database so the other server must be the same database name and username but the other is gunman_bbs then the error got ?

that could be the problem try that out making sure the db is hte same and the xml file is the same, if that still not works, ask a MySQL genius then.
