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.

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.

I have to go to work now but if you drop an idea in Id really appreciate it 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'
mrserv0n Posted January 10, 2007 Author Posted January 10, 2007 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 Yea I had already changed those as well.. I will try a couple things and see if I have any luck.. Where it says $username $password etc in the fuction file I dont need to put my info there right?

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 !
