You can either modify your php.ini file to allow for larger uploads or you can copy the database to the server using scp or sftp and then import it using the MySQL command line. You are correct… everything should work properly.

Thanks.

what do you recommend using if one’s mysql database is too large for phpMyAdmin to handle importing? mysql database is 307 mb as a .gz file.

also, if i change the table prefixes and upload, other than checking plugins and wp-config file settings, i shouldn’t have to make any additional changes in mysql database settings?
everything should work properly?

thanx,

alex

It looks like however you are backing up your MySQL database it is including the “create database” text. You can either remove this manually or make sure when backing up the database to not have it include creating the database. That should resolve your problem.

I followed the above instructions. But when I try to import my modified sql file I get

‘#1007 – Can’t create database ‘acoustj0_wrdp1′; database exists ‘

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
