Geeklog Forums

I would like to know please how to know which database belongs to my site and also to the forum i have inside this site.

On my old server I have 2 geeklog and 3 phpbb forums so I wonder how to know which belongs to which site

thank you

Open each sites config.php and see its database information.

bye, Dirk

I have copied everything that is in public html and changed config file

but now it says error selecting database

i created new database on new server and it doesnt work, i changed the name of the database in config file

Could you give some more details? Is ist webspace, is it cpanel? Have you connected a user with the database

Double-check all the database settings in config.php.

bye, Dirk

it is cpanel 10 i guess

i tried to upload my database from previous server that has put the files in rar but this new server i guess doesnt accept that i think it uses notepad files not rar

there is already test database there

and i created new database also the new user and it says no tables found in that database

i used phpmyadmin and i do not know how to upload database there
i can nopt use ftp right??

No FTP. Try to find something like import or upload database. Sometimes it is hidden under another button like SQL commands.

Is the previous server CPanel too?

No it is vdeck

is it possible that i do not have right to make a database

and how to change the username, can i do it alone or do i have to ask for that my host

also i found how to import database but it doesnt work

it was under sql i choose zhe zip file of the database and after a while it says done but there are no databases in the server

Who is your current host? A good host should help you transfer the site, or find another host that will transfer for you.

Sam

blue host

and they obviously do not work during weekends

Did you find a tutorial on how to use MySQL with cpanel? Search for it.

It requires you to create a database, create a user and to connect both. You can do this all by yourself but you have to do these 3 steps.

E.g.: Look here for tutorials:

Also check the .sql file. Depending on the way you exportetd it it may contain a command like CREATE DATABASE which may not work as your webspace already got a database. So try deleting this line then.

The CREATE TABLE command is o.k.
