Import phpBB 2 from file?

[imahawki]

I have a phpBB 2.0.22 forum and I'm trying to use Impex. I got it working fine importing from the phpBB database but the problem is my host keeps locking the database because there are too many queries. I get an error message like " #1226 - User '[my database ID here]' has exceeded the 'max_questions' resource (current value: 50000" Is there a way to import the forum from a backup of the php database?

No, because the backup would need to be restored first.

Ask your host to up your limit or find a better host

If you know your way around SQL files, you could restore the database a bit-at-a-time by breaking up the SQL file. But if you do it wrong, you can have major problems. Being on a host that is that restrictive is not good.

I got it up and running with some temporary intervention from my host. Thanks for all the help.
