Hi everyone I'm new in Joomla 2.5, can you help me on transfering my database from the localhost to the server. I have up loaded all my joomla files and folders to the public_html folder in the server. When I export my database file through phpMyAdmin I see three files as follows: 1. amcomhzbyk_db1 (71) 2. information_schema (17) 3.mysql (17. Do I need to tranfer all of them or only the first main database file. Also I need help with setting the php.configuration file for the site to run on the server.

Hi everyone I'm new in Joomla 2.5, can you help me on transfering my database from the localhost to the server.

All you need to do is to upload the files to the server. The only thing is to change the connection to from local to host server db.

This is how you export the database:

Go to existing database in phpMyAdmin
Click Export at the top
Leave the settings as they are, click the "Save as file" checkbox and click Go
This will download a .sql file to your computer

Do I need to tranfer all of them or only the first main database file.

I can't answer that question because does the website needs it to function?
