migration

[shipmatch]

ok i started up a topic on this subject and got very little help. I have decided to drop my original project and just try the basic first.

what i want to do is transfer my zen cart to another hostiong site. I have installed a new zen cart onto my site and have backed up my sql database through the contribution in order to add through the admin centre of zen cart and restored it on my new site...............and nothing.
So i backed up my database through phpmyadmin using the backup database migration help page
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=103
and then tryed to import this through my new phpmyadmin and............NOTHING!!!
Why will this not restore my products or customers?
ANY HELLP WLCOME AS I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR FOUR DAYS!!!!!

In your old site, what was the DB_PREFIX setting in your configure.php file?
You need to use that same DB_PREFIX in your new site if you want to access the data in the tables you're importing.
