We have a phpbb forum at informe.com. I am trying to restore to a new datatbase at our own hosting site from the database backup sql file from informe. I get errors. I was advised to modify the phpbb_config table before restore to the new database. Is this the proper direction or is there some simpler way to do this successfully. Thanks in advance.

What kind of errors are you getting?

Ok, I first did a structure only restore and then a data only. The last error was: "critical error: could not locate valid language pack". I will try to do a full backup restore and see what happens but I anticipate a lot of informe.com settings will be carried forward which is not what I want.

Language pack is not in database, but in files. Make sure you have uploaded language pack you were using on old forum to directory "languages" on your new forum.
