Has anyone ever done this before? I have a backup file of a Wordpress site that was created with the Cpanel backup functionality and trying to restore the database on a Mediatemple server (which uses Plesk not Cpanel). Any tips on how this can be done?

Have you tried the Wordpress XML export and then just import it back in? It's not perfect but I've used it a few times to shut up clients that wanted to switch servers (after not listening to my advice). Took like 4 minutes.

Yeah, I agree that would be better. Unfortunately at the moment the cpanel backup file is all I have access to.
Most annoying of all is that I found a good walkthrough on how to do it earlier today at work but can't find it now. Arrghh;)
- Sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully somebody else here has done it.itsmitch

Thanks airey, the method in the first link actually worked. It's funny typing out these 100-character SQL commands when I have no idea what the hell I'm doing:)
