hi you should not import phplist database. Just create database, set this database name, mysql username & password in config.php file (find step 5) and follow installing phpList in a few steps:

1. Unpack the distribution files. Make sure to use "create directories" when unpacking.
2. This will create a directory called phplist-x.y.x where x.y.z is the version you unpacked.
3. In this directory, there will be a directory public_html which contains the directory lists. Upload the "lists" directory into a directory that can be accessed via the web. The rest of the files are for reference only and are not needed for phplist to work.
4. Create a database for phpList to use. phpList needs the name of that database during the installation process.
5. Configure phpList by opening the config.php file in the lists/config directory in your preferred text editor.
6. Go to the URL of the lists/admin directory of your phpList installation.

Example If your website (lets say http://www.mysite.com) is mapped to the directory /home/michael/www/, and you have uploaded the phpList distribution files into /home/michael/www/lists/, then you should go to: http://www.mysite.com/lists/admin/.
