Update database string? Most of my products gone

[lazaru]

Got an email from my hosting saying my database had been renamed and then most of my products went from my shop.

 

Also told i had to update the database string..

 

Am completely stumped as what to do

 

Have restored back-up but nothings happened

 

Can anyone help?? :o

THe name of your database is stored in 2 files.

 

You need to update both files.

 

/admin/includes/configure.php

/includes/configure.php

updated both of them but now it wont let me back into my file manager cos i think one of the entries has an extra space in it

 

any thoughts?

Remove the extra space

 

:-)

 

 

Guess you still have not put the right details there .

 

It should only be these 3 lines you need to change

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'user_name');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'abcdef');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'idb_name');

 

When you say most of my products have gone,, can you get into the shop at all?

 

Can you post the url
