O boy.. .now i've done it ! i'll try to make this long story as short as possible: I have a dot info site that i want to transfer over to a much better dot com domain. 'Info Site' is running joomla 1.5, setup through GD control panel 'COM' site is the newest install of joomla (1.5.22) So.. through FTP, i download EVERYTHING form the info site i then go to mysQl and export everything from there creating a nice sql backup file for install on the new 'com' i go to GoDaddy backend and install new joomla for the 'com' site. Once install has been completed, i drag and drop all the downloaded files from the 'info' site - INTO the 'com' site. I go to the 'com' sql and dump all the ables .. i then import my sql data from the 'info' site. Everything shows up nicely - looks great BUT... ... backend admin in 'com' site is still calling out to the 'info' site. (we don't want this) i am unable to add new articles with white pages and erros (can't connect..etc) - it appears the db name is incorrect... ...so.. i do a find/replace on my backed up sql file ... i replace all the old database name with new database name (something like 2.800 instances) ... i then save that sql file as a new file (not to replace the orig) and import ... i next do the same with my configuration.php file (replace old db with new db) now... the site works... looks good... all links work - everything LOOKS great but it's really not things are screwy all over. i try to log in to my backend admin, i see the 'info' site roll past the status bar (bottom of browser) just before it gives me this 'Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL' if i refresh - i am able to actually work in my control panel under my proper 'com' name.. .. but again .. still can not save new work... it's a mess. i could really use some help with this... (i hope explained myself properly)... i also have a few other issues i need help with help as well, but probably very easy stuff for the ones that know best. thanks for looking and reading (and hopefully helping) i look forward to hearing back from you.
