How to fix mysql errors in phpmyadmin when importing a database
#11
Thanks @fitkoh  You're so right about how complicated it is.  The first time round everything worked out without needing the installer, just the database needed to be updated.  There is a database only upgrade tool that came up during the install phase (no install function was available, just upgrade or convert), but it didn't work for my database, and by the look of support requests in the Forrum, plenty of others had the same issue.  So I thought to go back to zero, and follow those complicated steps exactly as they were.  And that came out much worse.  When I activated the installer, it came up with a huge error message.  Previously, my own way with using a mixture of new version download and my own backup files, I was able to get the Forum up and it was working with some errors in the ACP. I then completely removed everything (DNS, everything) and thought I could fix the errors by following the phpBB recommended complicated steps perfectly from scratch, and that didn't work at all. What a disappointment that was.

So I'm back where I started. I've now deleted the Forum and removed the domain until I've got a new plan. 

Another possibility may be to create a brand-new installation, and then start everything fresh.  And once when it is working.  Try to see whether I can dump the database contents - empty it - and import the old database.  Not sure how flawed this would be. I'll have to research this first.  Thinking
