Switching servers.. db name problem

[ersio]

Did you or they change the DNS?

Most say up to 24 hours, other like GoDaddy say 72hours.... in reality it's often only 3... though it then has to propgate across the rest of the world

where do I check this?

I know about 3 hours ago I changed name servers on godaddy from theres("parked") to the servers names that bluehost told me to type in

http://whois.domaintools.com/zen-cart.com

just replace the zencart name with your domain to check.

You really should have a control panel where you can check this though

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.BLUEHOST.COM
NS2.BLUEHOST.COM

So far so good, if you can FTP into your new host, edit the index.html file or create one, something personal so you know that image has gone, it's doesn't need to say anything other than Jon woz ere... just so you know you now have ftp control. Though for full control if it you might still have to wait 24 hours and find it goes offline

I know the ftp, I've loaded all my ftp files from my old server over, I just have no idea while that booger is showing!

It's really getting frustrating, this switch over, I just want the stuff up and running, I have already gotten some emails from customers.

It's called domain propogation. Just be happy it doesn't have GoDaddy written on it ;)

It's looking fine, just give it ime. Technically it could be up to 72 hours. Maybe you misheard when I think back, they might have said 60 hours

If they have their moniker on it already I'd say you were good to get going and get some index file in there to test it

I'm positive its an error on my hand.


I followed all the steps correctly on taking my mysql db exported and then imported into the new db hoster.

I also used fillzilla to take all my files to desktop and then reloaded them all to new ftp.


I don't want to reinstall cause I will loss all my customer data and everything I had tweaked in programming

I know in the top left of my php admin that the db name is not the same


It used to be store
with bluehost it's now
ersio_store

Is th is the problem?

Um ... what folder did you upload everything INTO?

Your website will only show files which exist under the public_html folder.

I called tech support on that in the beginning, but I actually did upload them in the wrong place, then as I was on the phone, she worked it out with me and even stated that she could see files being uploaded to the public

Sinjce I can't edit, that was meant as before hand and I still have this problem with the website showing the previous image.
