$cfgServers[1]['host'] = 'localhost'; (The system default host name is 'localhost
does not need to be modified)
$cfgServers[1][ 'user'] = 'Database administrator name';
$cfgServers[1]['password'] = 'Password';
$cfgServers[1]['only_db'] = 'Database (database administrator) name_db)';
After the modification is completed, save the config.inc.php file;

After modifying the configuration file, upload the phpmyadmin directory and all the files in the directory to the customer via ftp
Under the directory of the website; (It is best to change the name slightly, so that others can not modify your data casually)

About the backup and recovery issues of vbb forum data! ! !
When I used it myself, I didn’t know how to do it, so I encountered many problems for many years. Now I finally know how to do it. I will write an explanation and share my experience with you!
1. You need to be able to use Myphpadmin. It is a very good tool. Most spaces that support mysql are installed for you, so you can use it directly. For its installation and use, please refer here:

VBB is a very excellent PHP+MYSQL forum. The Laggard Forum has been using VBB since its establishment. But for most users, MYSQL backup is a troublesome problem because most space providers do not provide permissions for remote connection to the database. At the same time, the PHP program takes 30 seconds to run. Limitation, making the backup of a slightly larger MYSQL database a very troublesome problem. Based on the data backup experience of the Laggard Forum, Yuxian uses PHPMYADMIN as an example to describe the backup of MYSQL data.

The following contents are all Based on ztsky Chinese VBB 2.20 and phpmyadmin 2.26 version
ztsky Chinese VBB can be downloaded from http://www.chinavbb.com
phpmyadmin can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/project/show...elease_id= 85832 Download

VBB 2.29 has a total of access, adminlog, adminutil, announcement, attachment, avatar, bbcode, calendar_events, customavatar, forum, forumermission, icon, moderator, poll, pollvote, post, privatemessage, profilefield, replacement, replacementset, search, searchindex, session, setting, settinggroup, smilie, style, subscribeforum, subscribethread, template, templateset, thread, threadrate, user, useractivation, userfield, usergroup, usertitle, word 43 tables.

Among them Relatively important are the
post and thread tables, used to save forum posts;
poll and pollvote tables, used to save the voting part of the forum - generally not backed up
privatemessage table, used to save messages between users. Whisper ---Generally, all tables starting with
user are not backed up. They are used to save information related to registered users of the forum. ------There are several, and they must be downloaded together.
fourm is used to save forum categories. Without him, your classification is incomplete, so you should also back it up together.


When backing up, you just need to save the important ones above.
Next, let’s restore the forum data.

Enter myphpadmin and restore the backed up data above.

Note: If you have several tables in the restored data, you must first delete the existing tables. , discarded, otherwise there will be no mistakes. For example, if you put several user data together in a zip file, then you need to delete those data together when restoring. This is good!

The above is my own experience in management. If it is good, please support me! ! Please also give your comments and suggestions!

Another way to back up forum data is to back it up directly in the background. In fact, it’s the same! ! !
