Changing MySql

[barakas]

I recently got a new hard drive after my last one got fried.

 

I had been working on some new features on my site offline using XAMMP.

 

But I only have the contents of HTCDOCS backed up, which is basically.

 

 

So one I had my new hard drive installed, I downloaded XAMMP and OSCOMMERCE, I installed OSCOMMERCE in the HTCDOCS folder tied to a MySql database called test.

 

I then replaced the contents of the HTCDOCS folder with what I had backed up.

 

However when I try to go on http://localhost I get this error:

 

1046 - No database selected

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

I figured that i would have to go into phpMyadmin and then connect the backed up information with the a MySql databse, however, I can't seem to find how to do it.

 

Does anyone have an idea how to do this? or have I made an error before this? Is there a file in OSCOMMERCE i will have to change so it is connected to a database?

 

thanks for your help

Also, when it comes to putting my new files online, how will i get it to connect to the old MySql?

If no one knows how I fix this, does anybody at least know where in the documentation I can find out how this stuff works?

Try setting the configuration parameters in

 

/admin/includes/configure.php

/includes/configure.php
