includes/configure.php

 

and

 

admin/includes/configure.php

 

look out for these sections

 

 

// define our database connection
 define('DB_SERVER', ''); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');
 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');
 define('DB_DATABASE', 'osCommerce');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

also take a look here

thanks for that, read the other post too, but most of that went over my head, also my stories a little different.

my website hasnt moved, only my server/server address changed.

i found those line above, in my config files and changed localhost to my new server address,

but reading that other post it seems i need to change other stuff too ?? as its still not working.

this is my eror message.
