I recently relocated to a new host.
I packed up old database (gzipped) dropped it on the new host in phpMyAdmin.
NOTE: Not sure if I packed it right, not sure if it unpacked right. I can see tables, they appear to be the same.
NOTE: Old database name was "clandestine" new database requires prefixes ie: "knight_clandestine" same goes for username.
I transferred orig. files over to new host. Edited mainfile.php to reflect new database name, username and password.
Now every time I attempt to access the site, I get this:
This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.
If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.
Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34
Now... The following page called "Xoops Troubleshooting Page" seems to be of absolutely no value in this case. It doesnt even provide a solution for this type of problem!
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something? Does the old database need packed a certain way, (What are the settings in EXPORT), does it need to be UNPACKED a certain way? Is there a file I'm missing that needs to be altered?
I will be ever so grateful to whoever can provide THE solution to my problem. I have 3 other sites that need to be transferred ASAP, and I don't even want to attempt them until I resolve the issue with the first one.
Someone please provide assistance.
ADDITIONAL NOTES: I even attempted to delete all orig. files, install new instance of xoops. I still get the same page.
I tried finding another topic with same problem. Some others have gotten this page after relocating, but issues seemed to differ slightly. Enough so, that an answer was not found. If I missed the appropriate post, please let me know.
