long time, no post… i am back and decided to start off with a small howto. since i am always moving websites and web based programs from server to server, i thought others might benefit from this.
following these steps, you’ll be able to backup a database on one server and restore it to (the same server if upgrading an app or) a different server.
first thing you need to do is know what username/password you are using for the database and what the name of the database is. you can do this by logging into mysql with the root user and displaying a list of the databases that are available.
