Admin trouble after changing servers

[DannyFischman]

After moving my zencart based site to another server (for a fixed I/P and SSL), the user end of the site appears connected to the database and working, but the admin side fails to connect to the database. I checked that the username and password are correct.

I'm using the current version of zen cart and
Apache version 2.2.14
PHP version 5.2.12
MySQL version 5.0.91

I should mention that while following the transfer instructions I ran into two puzzling conflicts:
1. The instructions were talking about an 'admin' directory where as my admin directory is 'zc_admin' and
2. In the zc_admin folder I have no 'configure.php' but I do have 'configuration.php'.

I NEED HELP!! PLEASE!!

the file is here...

zc_admin/ includes/ configure.php

What do you have here:
define('DB_PREFIX', '');

Reason why.. are you using a database prefix?????

Thanks for the reply!
The prefix is zen_ and it is correct both in the configure files and the database.

You might have to call the host and ask about these fields then..

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'XXXXXXXXXX');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXXXX');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'XXXXXXXXX');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

I used XXXXXXX to hide my original... Ask your host company..

Thank you again!
Now, here's the problem --
you know how there are two configure files, right?
So them vars you mention are in both, ok, and they are the same.
The one used for the store is obviously correct because the store works. Accesses the database - no problem.
The admin, now it gives me a general error about "internal error" when I try to log in as admin.
What to do? Oh what to do???
