I have a client who needs to move their website to another host. They have a forum using vBulletin software. It's been active for many years and is very large.
I'm trying to export the mysql from the database so that I can rebuild the database on the new servers, but whenever I try to export it I just get an empty, blank document. I suspect, but I'm not really sure, that maybe it's so big the current settings won't allow enough time to complete the export. Does this sound possible? If so, how would I fix this? If not, what other things could be causing this.
The phpMyAdmin interface says version 2.8.2.4 and the MySQL says version 5.0.45.
Bottom line, I need to get the database exported, so any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks much for any help.
