You mean you can't find the cart or you can't find your server?

 

If they moved servers or had a crash, you'll have to update your dns with your registrar. Did they give you all the news? Some of it might not be so good.

Their messages seem pretty vague.

 

If they've put your account on a different server and they're saying change the IP address it sounds like you need to go to the domain registrar and update.

 

Where'd you buy the domain name? That's your registrar and that's where you need to make the change.

 

You never answered the most important question. Can you find the server at all? Does the domain name resolve to anything?

yes I can find the server.I have my intro page on it and I can get to that fine but when I try to go into my catalog I get This

Warning: Can't connect to MySQL server on '66.102.133.21' (10060) in c:\hosting\webhost4life\member\fireball\catalog\includes\functions\database.php on line 19

OK, now we're getting somewhere.

 

In your config files try putting the new IP they gave you in for this line:

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

 

What'd you have there before? 66.102.133.21 or something else?

You're going to have to go back to them and get them to clarify their message. What exactly did they change?

 

How do you now access the database? With the new IP they gave you or a new db server name?

 

Do you have a new db user name? New password?

 

These are all questions they should have answers for.
