Question

I’m not a great expert in php and mysql. I want to test my drupal site, but I don’t know how to import my local database to the webserver.

I only have ftp credential, database name and database credential.
phpmyadmin and any type of control panel are not present.

This is the ftp folders tree (I’m using filezilla):

• anon_ftp
• bin
• cgi_bin
• conf
• error_docs
• httpdocs
• httpsdocs
• pd
• private
• statistics
• subdomains
• web_users

I’ve published the drupal’s folder in httpdocs folder.
May I publish my database dump file through ftp?

I ask you a little help before contacting my hosting provider

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Installing phpMyAdmin (installation instructions here) would be a valid way to do this. phpMyAdmin provides a convenient interface for importing database dumps.

Alternatively, phpMiniAdmin is a lightweight tool that fits in one small file.
