You also need to check the rest of the config.inc.php file, there are more path and URL definitions.
Really I have no idea. I was having an hard time getting the 200mb .sql file into my database and ipower handled moving it over for me. It is possible it got damaged. I really don't know.

200MB sql file? What is in that site?
Well, I've had to import huge databases a time or two. The way to do that is to go into the old database and only export a few tables at a time, or just export the really huge table separately. That way you'll end up with more files to import, but they should be manageable.
I have no idea what is in there. The site is actually very simple, text and some images, company info. The person who was doing it bundled it up and walked away. Apparently he was not good at communication or upkeep so the site was probably not managed well at all. I don't know what to do from here if the database is damaged. I suppose I could get them to re-import it as I could not figure out any way to personally import the backup into the database on ipowers PHPMyAdmin. It is limited to 10mb's at a time.

Do you still have access to the original site?
I may be able to get it. Is it possible to keep the sites overall structure (Layout, look, etc.), but wipe the database and start from scratch on that end? The client wanted to wipe all the usernames and passwords anyway, but not 100% what is saved in the database with MODx.

Looking at that screenshot, the last table is the modx_mxcalendars_log, and it's huge - 195Mb. I've never used mxcalendar, but is that table necessary? Usually it's a good idea to empty all log tables and log files before moving a site.
But besides that massive file, which I have asked if there is any way to get a new backup made with that folder cleared, there are still other items missing?

Well, there should be at least 77 tables, depending on what other add-ons there are. I think if that table were truncated before exporting there wouldn't be any problems. I'm not overly impressed with the tech support if they didn't notice that themselves.
Haha. That is the main reason they wanted to break ties with them. Thank you.
Also, not sure if you saw the above question, but is it possible to keep the sites overall structure (Layout, look, etc.), but wipe the database and start from scratch on that end? The client wanted to wipe all the calenders, usernames and passwords anyway, but not 100% what is saved in the database with MODx. Could I simply try a fresh install of MODx and add all the folders back into it (images, assets, etc.)?
