I have an oscommerce website already up and running, I want to create a new oscommerce site and I am being lazy as some of the products overlap etc, so I have backed up my existing Database and I have imported it through phpmyadmin on my new site. That is all workng fine, however I dont know what files I need to update on the new server, when I copy over the whole folder structure from the existing sites server over to the new sites server( I believe I might have a problem with this anyhow as its a linux box to a windows box!! ), so that the front-end connects to the database? Basically I want to know what are the file names I need to update on the server so that the new site points to the newly imported Database?

 

Thanks and I hope I have been clear enough! :)

your question is not very clear.

 

upload your files onto the new server.

there are two files you need to update to point to and connect to the new db addrress :

/include/configure.php

/admin/includes/configure.php

 

at the end of these files are the connection string variables for your db.

 

unless you have include files that reference a file like this :

include '/home/username/public_html/path/tofile/file.php';

 

then you should not have to worry about anything.
