Setting up on a new Server and I have a problem

[touchclothing]

I read over the thread so what I need to do is a fresh install on the new server with a new data base and then take a back of the other data base and do a recover install on the new data base. But what if the new data base has a differnt name?

But what if the new data base has a differnt name?

... then you use that new name in your configure.php files.

To keep it as simple as possible, just be sure to use the same "Table Prefix" in your new database when doing the zc_install step, as you had in your old database.

Then all you need to do is import the database content from old to new.
(as well as copying all the files over via FTP)

I have one other question Do I need to do the install or could I just load the site up and then change the configure.php to the new data base name and then do a restore for the data base? Or do I need to do a fresh install?

ok one last question what if I have more then one data base and I only want to restore one of them how do I do that?

Ok I did a back up of the old data base not how do I put it into the new data base? on a different server with a different data base name?

I guess this is that part that I can't get to work????

6- Using phpMyAdmin, restore your old site's database into the new database you created in step 4.
