admin access not working after moving site

[denisejeffers]

I moved my osCommerce from one host to another. I realize the database information all changed and have the catalog working.

(so I have the database connection set correctly in catalog/includes/configure.php I suspect)

 

When I attempt to go to my admin, I receive 'unable to connect to database server'

 

I want to reset my password, but am confused hence I've come to the experts.

 

First let me tell you the version I suspect is extremely old, when I look in configure.php I see the following:

 

$Id: configure.php,v 1.3 2003/09/30 16:13:41 serg Exp $

Copyright © 2002 osCommerce

If there is another place to look please advize and I will report back the correct osCommerce version.

 

Question:

1. What values do I set in the admin/includes/configure.php for the database connection string - A or B below or neither?

A The same userid/password for phpMyAdmin

B. the userid/password I have set in my catalog/includes/configure.php?

 

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', ' '); <obviously I've blanked it out for this post

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', ' '); "" ""

 

Neither seems to work.

 

When I look at my directories and files thru FileZilla (or any other FTP software) I see the .htaccess file in the catalog main directory

nothing in catalog/admin directories.

 

 

Questions: Should there be a .htaccess file in the catalog/admin directory?

Or does the .htaccess file catalog directory control the access to the admin section?

Do I need to regenerate a new .htaccess file in the catalog directory?

Or do I need to go onto my hosting Control panel and reset it a different way?

 

Thank you in advance as my client is waiting for his site to go live, but I can't release it until I have the admin section working.

Suspect thr problem could be in the line above.

 

Is the server set to localhost ?

Thank you for responding - My server is set to define('HTTP_SERVER','http://allfashionsunglasses.com');

I just read your post on http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...=287726&hl= and I was wondering how you resolved the ADMIN configuration? I don't see anything in your post on how the ADMIN section is defined.
