| Apr 30, 2017 at 8:42 | comment | added | Enrico Spada | I know it's been a while, but still no luck here. I was able to import my DB without any errors, but when I update the CiviCRM.settings.php file with the new DB info, I lose access to the CiviCRM dashboard and pages. Are there other locations I need to populate the new DB information? | |

| Mar 17, 2017 at 3:02 | comment | added | Enrico Spada | The database did not have the same name — but I did update CiviCRM.settings.php to reference the new db. Does it have to have the same name? Also, I had been importing the old database into the new installation -- but I will try your suggestion of using a second database and just changing the CiviCRM.settings.php credentials. When you say "update the existing CiviCRM database files" do you refer to CiviCRM.settings.php or other files that need updating? | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 21:37 | comment | added | Barbara Forbes-Lyons | Did you give the new database the same name as the old? Did you update CiviCRM.settings.php to reference the new database name and password? In the past what I've done is moved the Wordpress install and database, then installed CiviCRM and referenced the new database. However, you do need to update the existing CiviCRM database files with the correct mySQL and server information. | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 19:25 | comment | added | Enrico Spada | I actually export a .sql file using phpMyAdmin, then import it into the new database. The instructions in the wiki article above offer two routes: install a fresh copy of CiviCRM and importing your data, or export/import everything altogether. I've tried both ways with little luck. I can move my Wordpress website over no problem, and can install CiviCRM there. But importing my data breaks it. If I try the other route, I can access my site but not CiviCRM — I end up with blank screens. | |

Also, you mention getting a "new working copy" of CiviCRM - this isn't typical. Generally you'd create a blank database in MySQL and load in your old database dump. | |
