Problems restoring .sql backup

    Hello guys,
    I had a blog which went down a couple of months ago. I used the plugin WordPress Database Backup to take a backup of that blog which is 704 kb in .sql format. Now, I’ve got a new host and installed WordPress again (www.unitedarmy.net/blog/).

    When I try to restore the .sql backup using phpmyadmin and then visit the blog then the wordpress installation page comes up (which comes when you’re first installing WordPress). I’ve tried about 5-6 times already with changing things here and there with no luck. I’m waiting for a solution to this.

    Cheers.
