I am moving my website to a new host.

My old server runs: phpMyAdmin 2.6.1 and MySQL 4.1.7 - globat.com
My new server runs: phpMyAdmin 2.4.0 and MySQL 4.0.16 - ipowerweb.com

When I try to import the phpbb database using phpMyAdmin into the new host I get the following errors:

==================================
Database clubafri_phpBBForums running on localhost
Error

SQL-query :

CREATE DATABASE `phpBB-Forums` DEFAULTCHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci

MySQL said:

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci' at line Back
==================================

I believe I am doing something wrong here. Could somebody give me a detailed procedure on how to go about this.

Here are some more details:

The old database name was: phpBB-Forums*
I created a new one on Ipowerweb named: clubafri_phpBBForums
then tried to import the db I had saved from *

Any help will be highly appreciated

hello

your new server runs mysql 4.0.x which does not support CHARSET.

delete 'DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE..' from your database CREATE statements.

I have no clue what you are talking about ....never dealt with databases before bit I will check to see if I can do it.

Thanks for your help!
