Linux Server move issues.

Thanks for your reply DrByte. After transferring the web files I updated all the paths to the web folder and the new server details.

When I tried to fire-up the site up for the first time I got a Zencart message contained in nddbc.html, which implies it couldn't connect to the database.

Is there a cache entry which may still be pointing to the old server?
I am assuming that 'Fix_cache_key.php' is supposed to fix that?!

Database connection happens strictly based on the database settings contained in your configure.php files.
It has nothing to do with caching.

OK thanks, I need to trace through the startup scripts further as I have tripple checked the database values and web path settings in both the configure.php scripts. Its displaying the nddbc.html message re connection failure.

What happens if you choose to follow the instructions and run zc_install so it can build the correct values for you?
You can always restore your database afterward to be back at the right starting point, and actually be working.

Also, are your DB_PREFIX values the same between sites?
