However we have been having problems reinstalling the Main Page, so I don't know if it has anything to do with it. I just want to be able to import a backup. The host is an Apache server. Thank you.

Generally you don't use Impex to restore a backup. What are you trying to do exactly?

You need to copy the backup file to your server, then restore it to a new database. The only reliable method of restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. Please see the instructions here:

You've got me thoroughly confused. If you are restoring a backup then you don't have a forum to take offline. Unfortunately I have no idea what you are doing or what you want to do. You'll need to explain from the beginning.
