Thanks for your reply. Yes, I did exactly as you say. I unzipped the FB but the the database is only 1KB - is this not too short? The following is the response I got after I did a restore: Restoring Database Determined database name from sqlRestoring database “tj0001_wp896”--------------/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */----------------------------/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */----------------------------/*!40101 SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION */----------------------------/*!40101 SET NAMES utf8 */----------------------------/*!40103 SET @OLD_TIME_ZONE=@@TIME_ZONE */----------------------------/*!40103 SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00' */----------------------------/*!40014 SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0 */----------------------------/*!40014 SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0 */----------------------------/*!40101 SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO' */----------------------------/*!40111 SET @OLD_SQL_NOTES=@@SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0 */----------------------------/*!40103 SET TIME_ZONE=@OLD_TIME_ZONE */----------------------------/*!40101 SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE */----------------------------/*!40014 SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS */----------------------------/*!40014 SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS */----------------------------/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT */----------------------------/*!40101 SET CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */----------------------------/*!40101 SET COLLATION_CONNECTION=@OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION */----------------------------/*!40111 SET SQL_NOTES=@OLD_SQL_NOTES */--------------Sorry, I don't follow why I have to re-create the database if I've just restored it? And please can you elaborate what exactly you mean by "reassign the user to db" - Do you mean "delete/re-add User To Database" or "re-entering the user password details" in the wp-config? Edit: After importing the database in phpMYAdmin it's now asking me to install the WP-Software and it's not picking up my existing site.
