    Default mysite.configuration does not exist

    Okay, I've seen this topic covered but nothing is working to fix this.

    I have followed the instructions. I exported the database from the original database. I installed zencart on the new server. I checked, it worked. I uploaded old files to overwrite the new files. I dropped all tlhe tables from the database, I imported the old database. It was successful. I open the page....


    1146 Table 'funinthezen.configuration' doesn't exist
    in:
    [select configuration_key as cfgkey, configuration_value as cfgvalue from configuration]



    I checked both config files and realized that the new database had a prefix of zen_ and the old had no prefix. So I changed that.... and NOW the site says the server doesn't exist. I put zen_ back in, I get the error above.

    SO. I reinstall from scratch, uploading from the download at zencart, install it, the default works, I upload files, I do the database thing.......

    Again, same 1146 error as above. I checked the config files and they don't have a prefix, which is how it should be.

    The problem is I'm on a time table because my client is switching for Alekia (why he hosted there I'll never know, btw I didn't build the original so I can't even just recreate it from scratch, and in fact have rebuilt the site for him but because he hasn't approved the redesign yet he wants the old one up) to GoDaddy.com and so I have a certain amount of time to make this work until the dns servers are pointing to the godaddy hosting and I am about to have a heart attack because I have the flu and have been at this for 7 hours now.

    Please? Help?

    "funinthezen" is the database name

    "configuration" is the table it's looking for

    So, the error message is telling you that the system is unable to find a table named "configuration" in the database named "funinthezen" on the database-server using the username/password as specified in the configure.php files.

    Your problem is entirely in your configure.php files. (Assuming you actually have a database with the correct data in it someplace.)

    Default Re: mysite.configuration does not exist

    I mispoke in my first post. Now when pulling up the site it says:

    The website encountered an error while retrieving http://mysite.com/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

    Here are some suggestions:
    Reload this webpage later.


    The config files are, as far as I can tell, correct.

    The configuration table exists, see attached photo.

    Config from old server:

    // define our database connection
    define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
    define('DB_PREFIX', '');
    define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
    define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'funinthe_user');
    define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'apasswordhere');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'funinthe_db');
    define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
    define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
    // for STORE_SESSIONS, use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage



    Config from new server:
    // define our database connection
    define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
    define('DB_PREFIX', '');
    define('DB_SERVER', 'funinthezen.db.9183318.hostedresource.com');
    define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'funinthezen');
    define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'anotherpasswordhere');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'funinthezen');
    define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
    define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
    // for STORE_SESSIONS, use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage

    So, the error message has changed ... so ... now you need to sort out what's causing the new error.
    I suspect part of it may be your DNS changes. In fact that may be a big part of all of your problems.

    Default Re: mysite.configuration does not exist

    so from what you're seeing i haven't entered anything wrong in the config files either? and initially it happened when the new site had a prefix and i took that prefix off... looking at the jpg of my database, you can see that there's no prefix, right? so I'm right on that? I cannot imagine what in the world I could have done wrong, so I hope you're right and that it IS the dns thing and once it's propogates fully to godaddy.com's hosting it'll just suddenly work, because i cannot take much more of this headache, lol.

    If you left the ORIGINAL site on the ORIGINAL host (set to DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE of course - to prevent data being written to the old dbase), then the OLD SITE would show up until the DNS is fully resolved.

    When we move a site (in many cases FROM GoDaddy to our own, extremely reliable, efficient and inexpensive host) we leave the ORIGINAL site intact, set to down for maintenance. For further assurance that data cannot be written to the old dbase, we set access to showcase-no-prices as well.)

    Now... the old site is "in limbo", but will display the Down For Maintenance screen all the while the DNS is going about resolving.

    We then set up the NEW site, and, using http://newserver.host.com/~newsite ...

    ... we are able to see the new installation - usually without graphics and stylesheets and some other bits because these are URL-specific, and the config files contain the domain path.

    However... when we see the site rendering in this "skeletal" form, we know it has gone according to plan, and that all we are waiting for is the DNS to resolve.
