My site got bumped by my ex hosting company, fortunately I have a back up of all the Oscommerce files and the original database on my computer. My question is how do I get it re-installed on my mew hosting companies server? I can set up a new Oscommerce application which is what I did originally and I then copied over all of the files but it won't connect to the database? Is there a real easy way whereby I can just copy the entire folder (called shop in this instance) to my new server and then import the original database or import the original database to the new server and then copy all of the old PHP files, images, css etc. over to the new installation and just overwrite the files?? Please help as thanks to my last tin pot hosting outfit my site has been down now for over a week!

Here's the latest error message I get after trying to copy over my old files?

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'motovel_osc1@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/motovel/public_html/shop/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

Any ideas?? I'm thinking maybe the best option is just to start over again!
