No table found in DB constructed from forum.sql backup file

Post by Lou_Boumian »

I just created a copy of my PHPbb DB used by my forum to run a development forum and test MODs before implementing them.

I then tried to upload my backup DB file (forum.sql) to populate my empty DB_dev, using PHPMyadmin (phpMyAdmin 2.6.3-pl1)- SQL - " Location of the text file:", entering the name of my backup (forum.sql) in the field and pressing GO.

I get this message:

---------------------
I Your SQL query has been executed successfully:
The content of your file has been inserted. (forum.sql: 12904 Instructions)

No tables found in database.
---------------------

So, what's going on here? The uploading is said "successful" but my new database remains empty (no tables). Indeed, when I try any of the tab, it says "no table"....

Should I try another method for uploading my forum.sql backup file into my newly created DB?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
