Moving MySQL database advice

[Steve D]

Hi,

 

I have OScommerce up and running and am really liking the product.

 

However, I am moving the mySQL database to a new server and would like to know how to instruct OScommerce to look for the new db. Are there specific paths that I can alter, or must I reinstall (and configure) OSC from scratch?

 

Any ideas?

 

Also, any particular advice on importing from the old mySQL db?

 

Thanks in advance :)

 

Cheers

 

Steve

all dependent upon your server setup. usually have to create the new database with a user and password, reflect that change in the configure.php files.

Great. I'll give it a shot.

 

Thanks

It's worked fine, but I now have two new problems.

 

When I make changes in the Admin section - any changes at all - I get a 'warning, no file uploaded' warning, even though the Admin panel reflects the changes (I can add new products etc., they just don't appear in the catalog itself).

 

And my pop-up images no longer work. Click on an image to enlarge it and nothing happens.

 

I changed only the configure.php files, and only the line pointing to my SQL database. Nothing else.

 

Any ideas?

CHMOD your image directories to permission 777.

Thanks, Alpha, but it made no difference...
