    I'm not sure where this should go, but I know someone here will, and I'm not sure I'm even on the proper forum.

    This is my dilemma. Since September, I have been running a phpbb forum, but I am hosted by another website. Early this year, I decided to start my own website with domain name etc... and would like my forum to be hosted by my new website.

    The cpanel x allows me to start a phpbb forum, but I am trying to move all the files from my current forum to the new forum that is currently empty.

    I do not have access to any database information or to information on the current forum through an ftp client. I can't get a hold of the forum hosts or they're are ignoring me.

    So, I just want some guidance. I have found out some information on how I might be able to move the site, but I'm worried that I don't quite understand what to do.

    Here is the information that I found on the interenet:

    What I am looking for is for someone to take some time out of their day to help me do this correctly so that I don't lose all of my files in the move. I understand some of what I'm supposed to do, but there are areas, where I'm unsure and therefore don't want to proceed without some assistance.

    Please help or direct me to a place that can help me.
