Moving woes

Somebody is not doing something right. It is not this difficult to Import a database.

The whole situation seems really odd. :frusty:

Nipple:

That I log into phpmyadmin and there is nothing there, no tables, nothing. And the demo products are nevertheless in the store when I visit it. And yes I've made certain that it's the same db as what's in the configure.php files. I only have one db.

Yes, I dump all tables before importing the sql backup. That didn't remove the demo products, though.

It was welcome to do so, because the database was empty.

The tech support at my new host has been rather baffled, but they created a new database and imported the database again (they took the backup themselves) I have products now, but they had to manually go into the database to turn off maintenance mode, because adjusting it through the admin console refused to take effect (which worries me.) I have my products showing now, but all customer data is still gone, even though it's the same database import.
Those are all exactly symptomatic of pointing to the wrong database in one or both of your configure.php files.
