I'm new to website hosting.
I had successfully uploaded the files, now I want to upload database, can anybody help me to upload database from my localhost to my hosting website.
Use following step:
Go to cpanel.
create database by going to database option in cpanel.
assign db user to that database.
now go to that phpmyadmin.
export local db.
now import on live db.
Set home url and site url in option table.
work is done.
Generally all hosting services offer PhpMyAdmin. You can save your localhost database as local .sql file and import it on the server database.
PhpMyAdmin takes care of adding the commands to create the tables, so it is pretty easy.
You can find more details in the PhpMyAdmin docs.

I built a database and website using Xampp which allows me to use and test php and a database which is hosted on localhost. I now want to move this to a live server. I have moved the website to a live server using 123-reg. How do I move the database?
I have tried exporting the phpmyadmin db and placing the sql file in my live directory, not sure of the next steps. Unlike other hosting websites, 123-reg does not seemingly have a phpmyadmin option as a web tool. It does however have something called "MariaDBDatabases". Can I use this somehow?
Yes that is the correct way. You just have to export your database on localhost. Then import in your live database given in link
Go to export option. click on GO.
Make a new database.
And Import in that
Yes off course.
Generally, hosting providers don't provide insecure links like http://anything.com/phpmyadmin as DB access location.
Instead of that, they provide UI in control panel ( dashboard ) to access all the features.
It ensures the added security to avoid your custom database from unauthorised exploitations.
I don't know the UI features of your host provider exactly, but as you said, click over MariaDBDatabases, create a new DB (Copy that), create a new User (Copy that along with the password).
Now click over DB just created, I hope it will redirect you to phpMyAdmin.
There you can import your SQL.
Now all you have to do is, change the DB Credentials in your project.
I have a local working Wordpress site and now I'm trying to import the db on a site hosted in Godaddy but it's telling me it can't connect to the database.
Basically I need db name, user and pass in the wp-config and I created manually the db in Godaddy to make sure the table prefixes are the same. Also, Godaddy won't take localhost in the wp-config, you have to use their ip address with a port, something like: 127.0.0.1:1234. The only thing I haven't checked yet are my privileges. Not sure what the defaults are in Godaddy.
For those Godaddy users, Am I missing something? Thanks.
don't upload your local wordpress database like that!
When you create articles, post, pages, etc locally with wordpress it fills your database with your local links. Even if you push it to your new godady database, all the links won't work.
Here is what you have to do:
Create a new database in godady (done)
Create a new user and password for the db with all the priviledge (you have to this, very important)
Upload and install wordpress to your new domain (follow the install tutorial)
Register your dbname, user and password (localhost will work as the db is one godady, but you can put the IP)
Upload your local theme to the new domain (update only the theme, uploads and plugins).
If needed, set up the htacess and permissions to be able to upload files
Download WP Migrate DB on your local project and export the db with your production website info. If you are unsure, install the plugin on the production site too, simulate an export and copy the info to your local project
Upload the migrate database to gadady and then rock'n roll =)
I have all the PHP files and mysql database created on localhost through XAMPP. I have an account on Bluehost. Now I want to launch my website. So where to transfer the PHP files and where to transfer the mysql files on Bluehost? I know I can do it through FTP but I don't know where to upload these files to get the website running?
Apart from that I have one more doubt. Suppose I create a database directly on web server using phpmyadmin facility provided by Bluehost and try to link my php file kept on local host to that database what's the procedure?
You upload your files to the folder your domain is setup for, if you are using your main domain setup on bluehost (you can have multiple domains on same account, but they use different subdirectories of public_html) just put the files in public_html
As for the database you export your database on localhost (mysqldump or export feature of phpmysqladmin or whatever you use) and import it using the phpmysqlamdin import feature
and if by "link my php file kept on local host " you mean how do you change the php files to connect to the bluehost database you just change the mysql connections to use localhost, and the username and password of the database you setup on bluehost.
You can setup databases using bluehosts database wizard, it will walk you through making a database and setting up a user, those will be the database name, username and password you will need for the mysql connections.
I'm doing this website and I first tested it locally. Everything works including the database. The form from the html automatically sends submitted data to my database. The problem is, I want to host it online. I already have the website. I use webfreehosting.net. How can I insert my database to the file manager? I checked out the mysql manager and it says it imports text files. But the database folder on my local disk has opt and frm files only.
It looks like you are just starting out with web development. There are better, safer and faster ways to take MySQL dumps, but I would suggest you start with a graphical interface that aids in learning.
Your hosting provider would have provided you with a control panel. On their website, I can see that they provide phpMyAdmin. To import your database, you need to take the following steps:
Download a desktop MySQL administrator like MySQL Workbench
Export your database to a .SQL file
Log in to your web hosting control panel.
Create a Database.
Create a Database user and set a password for this
Grant this user all permissions to your database (not advisable, but its okay to start with)
Find phpMyAdmin. You will see this database listed.
Click on import and Import the database .sql file you created in step 2
Take a backup of your development database using mysqldump, then run the generated SQL against your production system.
Export your local database from MySQL Workbench in SQL format (text files). Then, import the same into online database using PHPMyAdmin.
How can I insert my database to the file manager?
You do not. If you made the website, you should know that you did not use it. Use phpMyAdmin for SQL.
Also, if you application is not working then check if you have made configuration changes in the file, like username, password.
I'm having trouble migrating a Wordpress site I've been working on from my local machine onto a host.
I've been through the documentation and as far as I understand, I have to:
Export the wordpress database from my local server.
Edit the wp-config.php file to suit my target server.
Change the URL's in the settings to suit my target server.
Import the database on my target server and move over the adjusted wordpress installation onto my target server.
I can do all of this, but my there seem to be some problems: in my hosts phpmyadmin I can't view or edit any users and neither can I create any databases (there's no option for it). When I try to import a database I get an error: #1046 - No database selected.
What do I not know/doing wrong?
If importing a database, you need to create one first with the same name, then select it and then IMPORT the existing database to it.
I can do all of this, but my there seem to be some problems: in my hosts phpmyadmin I can't view or edit any users and neither can I
create any databases (there's no option for it).
If you're going through CPanel, you won't be able to add a database directly through PHPMyadmin. You should go to your host's home page and look for some wizard to create a database. (it should be next to the PHPMyadmin link.
Alternatively, for moving wordpress, You can install wordpress on your live site, then export your localhost content via Wordpress's dashboard and then import it on the live site.
