need help on MYSQL.

[psychospath]

I downloaded a mysql backup from my old website, i used it for my blogs.
because i was planning on moving to a new server.

now i transfered my files and mysql databases to the new server.

my problem is, my blog space is blank, as if it was new:(.

what have i done wrong?
I copied all my files from my previous website and uploaded them all to the new server including my MYSQL dbs, but why is my blog space still blank and it no longer have the theme I had then:eek:,

I am using birdblog for my blogs.

any help would really be appreciated.
thanks!

Cross check your databases. You may have lost information while transfering them.

Might I also recommend wordpress as they've never done me wrong XD!

Because like i said i used bidrblog before and i just want to transfer my webblog to my new server. FUNCTIONING:D.

say i use wordpress, will it make my webblog function like before?

Probably not. Chances are permissions for the database user on your new server aren't set for the databases. Also check your login information as this has likely changed as well.

Might want to check your server error logs, maybe birdblog logged some errors that will help you figure out what's going on.

You can't use wordpress and expect it to read/use the database that was used by birdblog, unless you can find some sort of conversion tool to convert the data to the wp table structure.
