Hi Nick
Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to help.
The site was hosted by a company who have been mentioned in several other threads on this site. Basically the site went down one day and we couldn't contact the hosts to get the site back up. We found another host and they managed to do a back up and transferred all the files so the site was up and running again, we didn't do any of it ourselves as we didn't know how to!
We switched hosts in Feb last year.
The new site is now hosted on a Plesk basis and although I have found the database on there, I cannot currently access that as that looks like it is password protected.
This is the info on the admin/configure.php
// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '****_****');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '****');
define('DB_DATABASE', '****_****');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'db'
and this is the info on admin/includes/configure.php
// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', '****.****.co.uk'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '********_****');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*******');
define('DB_DATABASE', '********_****');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'db'
Does this info help at all?
