Well basically what you'll want to do is:
1) Download your files through FTP
2) Download your database through phpMyAdmin
3) Upload your files to the new server
4) Upload your database with phpMyAdmin
5) Re-edit your config.php with the new database settings

Good luck!

Sounds like the old subdomain settings from the previous setup may be causing your problem. I would check the nuke_config table => nukeurl to make sure it is correct for your new setup and if you are using nuke Sentinel check the nuke_nsnst_config table => force_nukeurl and make sure it is set to 0 (zero)

If that was the culprit that should allow you access so that you can fine tune the Nuke Preferences and the Forum General settings.

Also, make sure that you have your nuke in the root directory. If it is in a subfolder off of the root directory that could cause the blank page if you are attempting access via http:yoursite.com and your nuke is actually in http://yoursite.com/subdirectory

Hope this helps

Search the forums for bigdump. That should solve your problems.

hmmm i ran the script .. and i get this error:

"Starting at the line: 1

Stopped at the line 339.

At this place the current query includes more than 300 dump lines. That can happen if your dump file was created by some tool which doesn't place a semicolon followed by a linebreak at the end of each query, or if your dump contains extended inserts. Please read the BigDump FAQs for more info."

i created my dump through phpmyadmin so i dont see the problem :S
