hey wassup,

well I am back from the crap that just happened, and everything went down to crap after i started this site up. Now i just found out the my current hosting server 1t3.com is a wack hosting server... they always go offline and their support services arent liable, they never responded to the service tickets and the emails i sent them. so i decided to switch over to dot5hosting.com

They are pretty good so far, i got more webspace then ever! But one problem is that I need to know how to get the XOOPS site back to normal. I made copies of the database and im currently moving the files of the site to the new server.

I need to know how to change the database name in the XOOPS site, because i cant use the same username and the same password for the database access... is there a way to change this? let me know. thanks.

You'll have to edit mainfile.php with the new values for physical path, database etc.

Herko

so is that the only file i have to modify in the file? all i have to do is to make a database and thats it rite?

Yes just mainfile.php if your root path is different you will need to change that also, but thats about it.
