Geeklog Forums

Since I'm running 3 geeklog sites on the same server, I decided to change the name of my original database from "geeklog" to "fubar." So I dumped "geeklog" into "fubar" and changed the database name in config.php. But now the install is drawing data from both databases. New stories are still weritten to the "geeklog" database but rss feeds (for example) are drawn from the new "fubar" database.

What should I do to completely change the database name?

THanks!

$_DB_name in config.php is the only place where the database name is defined - everything else in Geeklog (that needs the database name) refers to that variable.

Since you said you're running three site on the same server: Is it possible that there's some mixup here somewhere?

bye, Dirk

The old db name was "geeklog." The new one is "monopedilos"


RSS feeds and the "Latest Forum Posts" phpbbbridge block get data from "monopedilos" database.

New stories and forum posts are still written to and read from "geeklog" database.

This means that, while the site looks ok for the most part, the Latest Forum Posts and RSS feeds both date to when I tried to change the DB name

So I dumped "geeklog" into "fubar"

What did you do? How did you dump? Is it your own server, is it webspace, is it cpanel? Cpanel got some adjustments which are quite different from e.g. confixx. I don`t doubt that Dirk is right, that the definition of the db is in config.php

It's my own server. I created a new database called "monopedilos" and mirrored the "geeklog" database into it:

Then I changed the entry in config.php to the way it is shown in my previous post. However, new stories still appeared into the "geeklog" database instead of the "monopedilos" database.

Sorry, I don`t know such server things. Maybe someone else...
