 * hi guys, i need some help..
 * trying to import a backup database but i keep getting:
 * **Internal Server Error**
 * The page you requested could not be served. This could happen for a variety of
   reasons, including:
    A CGI script failed to produce any output. The server is
   incorrectly configured. The server encountered a critical error. There may be
   more information about this error in the server’s error logs.
 * we have currently moved hosting and im not that familiar with WordPress but i
   am learning as i go on..
 * with the new host(names.co.uk) i have installed wordpress and also dropped in
   all the files via ftp from the old host.. at this point i noticed things werent
   looking the same..did some research and figured out i needed old database too(.
   gz file)..(found a backup of it)
 * but after logging into MyPHPAdmin and following all the instructions i cannot
   get it to work???
 * Any help will be greatly appreciated!

 * The error has provided you with some “reasons” for this error.
    Have you discussed
   them with the Techs. of your hosting provider?
 * you mentioned about changing hosting. Also, review this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_to_a_New_Server)

 * “did some research and figured out i needed old database too(.gz file)..(found
   a backup of it)”
 * Extract the .gz file on your computer then attempt to import the SQL file using
   phpMyAdmin. A program like WinRAR can be used to extract .gz files.
 * The SQL file is plain text. It will be much larger than the .gz file. I have 
   in the past had problems with .gz files so I always save as .zip when I backup
   a database.
