Well last night I tried to get my main Dirk Maggs productions website working again.
You should be able to work out that it was not a success.
I have got all the support files on the server, which is good as there are 30 000 of them!
I have found my zipped data base backup which appears to be complete and appears to work.
I managed after a while to work out how to create a new database on the hosting server and to work out what my server name is, username. Database name and it's password.
I even worked out how to import the backup of the database to the hosting server.
So at this stage all is good....
But during the import process after the file has uploaded okay and the SQL file is running the import stops with the following error, error code 1153 with the description Got a packet bigger than max_allowed_packet bytes now so far I have not found a site on the web that will explain to me in words that I understand what has gone wrong.
So today when I get time I will do a bigger search on the net to find answers, as without it the website will not work.
I did do some other preparation work and have set up the configuration file of concrete 5 to use the database if I ever get that bit working.
I went to bed last night not very happy...
