Had to Reinstall Do I have to reconfigure?

[mrserv0n]

I got a new domain and had to reinstall OS commerce. I made a backup of my enitire OS commerce catalog directory, I went through the initial installation again and then tried to just copy my catalog folder over with many errors.

 

How to I import my catalog, prices, basically everything, I do not want to have to rebuild my site

Have you adjusted your admin/includes/configure.php and (catalog)/includes/configure.php to your new domain ?! Normally that is all there is needed to move your shop to another location besides using phpMyadmin or the stock osC backup/restore for copying your database.

Nick,

 

Most likely you also got a new database name, db userid and db password so you also have to change that part of the configure.php's

 

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'your db userid');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'your db password');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'your database name');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

No, you must not touch any source files ! If your new host has a whole different server setup you might be in for more surprises (PHP5, MySQL5, php.ini settings etc.)

Just tell/show us the errors you are still getting so we can be more to the point !
