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 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'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 have a php project that is connected to a ClearDB database. Running it locally has no issues and is able to interact with the database. But when I push the project to azure and try to run it from the website, it does not work with the database correctly. It seems to be able to connect to the database but inserts almost blank rows. For example, when I try to "register" it creates a row in the Users table with an ID but the name, username, etc. is all blank. I have no idea what is causing this. Are there any settings I have to change in Azure for it to be able to use that database or anything?
Thanks!
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.
This article on Moving Wordpress will also be helpful.
I have a question about mysql db. I created the site locally and now want to move it to the server. I have created websites. Doing import and export of the database, but now I have a problem. Previously, I always enjoyed the various panels of access (admin). But now the provider gave me only the name & password of the database and ftp. I do not have any control panel (for example cPanel) and I do not understand how to work with the database now.
Thanks for any help
MySQL Workbench has a nice graphical interface for administration of MySQL databases.
I would recommend using a GUI program to access the database and work with it, since it will make the transition much easier if you're used to using a control panel. You can get GUI clients that run as programs on your computer, instead of running on the remote server as cPanel and phpMyAdmin do. This means that they will work regardless of the provider if you have the username and password.
There's many MySQL front-ends out there, but two I would recommend are the official MySQL Workbench if you're running Windows or Linux, and Sequel Pro if you're running Mac (MySQL Workbench can also run on Mac, but I personally prefer Sequel Pro). Both are free.
phpMyAdmin is a tool that you could install on the web server, and if you install it, you could then import the data that you've exported from your local database.
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php
Alternatively, and I'm guessing the answer to this is "no" but I'll throw it out there anyway, do you have SSH access to the server at all? If so, you could just cat the file and import it straight in to your database.
