Database restore problem

[mehnihma]

Hi

I have one problem when trying to restore database with cpanel MySQL backup.
I create backup from CPanel and then I try to restore that backup with no success.

When I was on shared hosting this worked normally.

I choose database to restore and click restore. It uploads database and I get:
In first row:
The database (database) already exists!

After that it continues to execute queries and it stops in the middle of process and doing no changes. just like I have pressed stop in browser.


I have tried it million times and with different browsers and get same thing.

In phpmyadmin it works

Also where can I change upload size of database for phpmyadmin?

Can you help me with this?

Does anyone knows what could be the problem?

How large is the database? Have you tried to restore this database via command line? Uploading a large DB via phpMyAdmin is not the best way to go about doing what you want.

 

[mehnihma]

No i have not,

it is 350 MB

 

[Infopro]

Yes, that's a bit large. See if this post by Tristan is helpful to you:

Thanks, but when I try database of 5MB same problem happened?

 

[Infopro]

I can't answer that. It depends on how the DB was created I would think. Did you back it up properly?

Does restoring it via the command line work?

 

[mehnihma]

yes
I have back it up with cpanel mysql backup and I cannot get it back.
I have tried doing same thing on shared hosting that I have and it works

Hmm, I think there's something in your last comment there. Can you expand on it a bit more?

 

[mehnihma]

When I try to restore through command line it works, but with cpanel it does not works.

I took same test database that I have downloaded from my cpanel and uploaded it to my shared hosting with cpanel and it is working normally.
Database size is around 5 MB.

Same database cannot be uploaded on my cpanel. It stops in the middle and that is it.

 

[Infopro]

uploaded it to my shared hosting with cpanel and it is working normally.

Same database cannot be uploaded on my cpanel.

Whats the difference between the two items I've highlighted in bold?

Sorry about confusion.

I have server with Cpanel/WHm on which I have this problems.

On one shared hosting that I have and bought before from other hosting company year ago, and they have same version of Cpanel and there I can restore same database with no problems.

On my VPS I have this problem.

Hope this clarifies it.

Thanks

Almost, but let me prod a bit more if I could.

On your new VPS, you have a new account setup, normally, and are trying to restore this DB to it, correct?

 

[mehnihma]

Yes and no.

I want to be able to restore like this through cpanel if possible

I both cases:

1. I create backup from my VPS with cpanel MySQL backup
2. I cannot restore that backup mysql to my VPS
3. When I got to other shared hosting and use same backup database and restore it with Cpanel mysql restore, it works.
4. I create backup from other shared hosting I try to restore it to my VPS Cpanel with mysql cpanel restore, not working
5. Same file form step 4 works on other shared hosting


With PHPMyAdmin and ssh it works on my VPS, only Cpanel troubles me

Thanks

 

[Infopro]

Yes and no.

I was afraid of this. That was a yes/no question, not both.


If you have an actual account on one server and download a backup of a database, and you have an actual account on another server that you want to upload that database to, it should work. I think. Because its not, I think we're missing a small detail here somewhere.

If your Hosting Provider is of no assistance to you with this, I suggest you open a ticket to cPanel Technical Support. If you do, please post back the ticket ID here in this thread so that I can follow along with it please.

Thanks.
