You may need to contact your host to figure out where mysqldump is. Note if your mysql is not local meaning its on another server you can not use the backup utility
phpmyadmin is this http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php |
Okay stupid me. The reason I couldn't find the pp_settings is because I had PP installed in a different DB. I have it in the same DB is

I hate this host more and more. Now that I'm back on track (I think) let me be clear on your steps:

I'm importing the new one meaning the DB from which? lol I got lost somewhere. Lets try saying PP1 and PP2. PP1 being the old PP that I'm importing from and PP2 being the new install.
Sorry I'm acting brandnew today. I just woke up
I know how things can be vague on here so I wanted to break it down for me and all the other newbies.
