transfer posts to new domain

  • Hi,

    I have recently obtained a new domain name to host my blog. I have installed the new version (2.2) of wordpress and copied all of my theme files over from my old blog.

    Where have all of my posts gone? The theme layout looks fine but all of may data is not! How do i transfer all of my posts too? Do i need to copy a data base also? Where is that stored?

    Thanks

    Thanks
    That was great!

    However, I have had a hickup. I downloaded the database as instructed, but when i try to upload the database (using import in myphpadmin) i get the following error:

    SQL query:

    — phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
    — version 2.9.0.2
    — https://www.phpmyadmin.net
    —
    — Host: localhost

    — Table structure for table wp_categories
    —
    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_categories ;

    MySQL said: Documentation
    #1046 – No database selected

    What is this telling me i am doing wrong?
    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Questions:
    The old WP version and the new WP install are/were the same version? – they should!
    In the new location you just created an empty DB and did NOT install WP, right?

    Initially i installed WP on my new server. I then uninstalled it. It was a different version. Old vesion is 2.1.3.

    I then, as per the instruction from the above link said, copied all of the files that used to reside in my previous blog.

    I did not create a new database either. All i did was to log into cpanel choose my sql databases then through phpmyadmin, i just tried to import the old database that i’d downloaded from my old server 10 minutes previous.

    Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    So to answer, i do not have WordPress installed on the new server. I just copied the files from the old server.

    So i do not have a database associated with wordpress on the new server.

    thanks
