   my site backup of my previous host..but now i have problems with the msqyl database..
   i did backup that one aswell but i cant upload it it seems.. now i wonder how
   important is dat database concerning old posts and comments etc? can i just make
   a new one without destroying anything or do i have to upload the old one to make
   it all work good?
    I also gonna upgrade my wordpress but i first want my old 
   one to work

 * If you don’t want to loose your old posts and comments – it is **very** important.
   All the content is stored in the database, not in files!
 * What did you try to import the old database? Describe it step by step…

 * You do NOT “upload” the database backup. You have to restore it in the phpMyadmin.

 * Especially then 🙂
    That’s the only way to move an existing blog’s content from
   one server to another.

 * OMG i think i did it wrongly 🙁 I did backup the database.. in the backup folder
   instead of that other thing 🙁
