Is it possible to remotely connect to the mysql database? I've been wondering this.
I'm going to be acquiring a site that I'd like to be transferred over to be hosted here at Powweb. I can figure out the DNS transferring, but my main problem is transferring their forums over to mine.
vBulletin, as some of you know, comes with a great program, Impex, to import other forums into vB. Well, the forum I'm acquiring is phpBB, and it's got a different host.
So my question.
What is the best way to make the transfer? Would a remote database transfer via Impex be plausible? I can't really see any other way. I thought of doing a dump of their database, but then I would have to edit some tables, I believe. I would also have to do some PHP edits. I'm wondering if there's a less painful way to do this.
Your response on the matter is appreciated. :)
