moving database

[ohmmicronics]

Previously on my site I had the setup on godaddy with a linux server and the database for some reason on a windows server with godaddy. I set up a database on the linux server with identical naming and info and tried to point the configuration file to the new one by changing the database ip address in the file. so far it says it can't connect to the database.

Any advice on how to make this work so I can set up a new inventory cleanly in the new database and live on one server?

....so far it says it can't connect to the database.

what exactly does it say when you are trying to connect to your new DB?

I have changed the configuration file, saved it, and when I attempt to open the website, I get the Zen Cart page that says 'sorry, there seems to be a problem connecting to our database.'

if someone could walk throught he process required to do this I mighe see where I went wrong.

thanks
