Hi, thanks for the offer. The current site doesn't have a domain yet (transfer pending till we sort this import issue) but that can be worked around for logging into the empty site when I've been testing by adding entries to hosts file for the domain and the new host servers IP.
I most probably sort you a login shortly (to the new host with backup file present?) but right now I'mm in the process of ruling out file corruption when transferring the .gz file from the current host to my pc.
I noticed last night when I tick the box for compression when making the forum dump and while the dump each time is showing as successful when I've downloaded it to my pc and tested unzipping it, 7zip was telling me the "file is broken" so I had been thinking along the lines of the gz compression being broken and so started doing backups with compression unticked but now I'm unsure of this as I end up with a larger file (800MB vs 500mb) but its still inside a .gz container and of course if http file transfer of the backups is the issue its just as likely to be corrupting an uncompressed one.
I'm now testing getting round this given I don't have ftp access to the current host as I spotted the ftp backup plugin on the live forum and so have now set this to ftp backups to an ftp server I have and am in the process of downloading it to my pc to see if this unzips ok. Hopefully this will confirm if the http file transfer has corrupting the dump file irrespective of compression or not.
Fingers crossed a test unzip of this compressed dump isn't broken and if it unzips ok, I'll try another restore on my local pc copy of fud. Will report back soon.
Quick question if you see this before I report back. My local PC has an empty v3.0.4 waiting for the restore. The new hosts empty fudforum is 3.0.4.1 as their software includes the latest fudforum on a large selection of possible systems to install so last time around reinstalling the forum I took their easy install route. I could however dump that and grab 3.0.4 and install that instead or would 3.0.4.1 be compatible with a dump from 3.0.4?
