Help: Moving my Joomla stuff to a new site
-
-
I thought it would be easy, but I am stuck. Here's where I'm at:
Ok, so I just uploaded all of my Joomla content into my new site. Where I am having problems is in the database. I go into phpMyAdmin and go to import, upload my database, but wait... it doesn't finish importing. I get the following error:
Error SQL query: -- -- Table structure for table `jos_artbanners` -- DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `jos_artbanners` ; MySQL said: Documentation #1046 - No database selected
Am I going about it the wrong way? BTW, that is the only copy of the database I have.

I am not really concerned about the users and such that is in the database. Is there a way to retrieve the articles and implant them into a fresh Joomla install? That's primarily what I'm concerned about, I don't want all that work to be gone.
So the update is:- Is there anything in the DB that I need, other than users info? If not, I can do without that.
- How do I extract, if possible, articles from my old Joomla and integrate them with a new Joomla?
I think that's all I need. Hope you experts can help... please?

Go buy JoomlaCloner its a one time investment and a very good one..
Takes seconds to clone and move a whole install including all user stuff, comments, content etc.. and it will install the new joomla site as it should be.

Thank you Thomas. As I read the details and used the demo version I am getting the impression that you need to have the Joomla version you want cloned installed. Is that correct or can I somehow upload my "zipped" Joomla to the Cloner component through FTP?
My situation: I do not have Joomla installed, only the backup file from the server.
Thanks in advance,
AJ

AJ - I don't know if you've contacted JoomlaCloner support, but I've found them to be extremely helpful and quick in responding. My guess is that they can talk you through it.
