Importing Database into new Installation

[MagicMan]

Hello,

I am in the process of changing hosting company's. I have installed Zencart on new server and have imported the database.

The problem is that when I go to "MYDOMAIN.COM/CART" it does not display any of the catalogue information. Just a blank Zencart Installation.

When I view the database from phpadmin, all of the data is there but is not displaying.

I did the exact same thing for another one of my domains and it worked flawlessly with no trouble. What could be the problem with this as this is my most important and largest catalog.

Thanks so very much for your help.

Did you change the 2 configure.php files?

Thanks for the quick reply.

The important thing is that my data is there. I think what might be the problem is that I am stuck in DNS propagation. Long story. I will wait another day or so and try it again.

I will also check the configure files, thanks for the suggestion and post a reply back once I figured this out with the fix.

Be in touch soon.

Thanks again.
Kevin

Have you correctly pointed the new install to the new database?
And have you used the same DB_PREFIX as you had on the old server?

It is a long story.

The new Zencart install was automatic via the cpanel. Worked great.

It automatically names the database which is fine because it is the new name for the database that I would like to use. DB Name is "zc_1"

I had already imported this data into another Zencart Installation using my own defined database name. DB Name "HHD_STORE"

I imported "HHD_STORE" DB into "zc_1" DB. The import went smoothly and there wer no error message.

This is where I get confused. When I view the new "zc_1" DB from phpmyadmin, all of the data is there. Catagories, product info etc etc. However, when I try to access the cart from "MyDomain.com/cart" it shows the Zencart program but none of the data from the database.

I checked the config files and the DB is "zc_1" I changed it to "HHD_STORE" but nothing happened.

This is redundent from my first post but maybe clarifies it a bit.

Please post all the DB_xxxxxx settings from your OLD store and your NEW store here. The password can be skipped.

Please excuse my ignorance but I am still a beginner with Zencart.

Where would I find the DB_xxxxx settings?

[MagicMan]

One of the other changes that I made was the path to the cart. The original one is "store" and the new one is "cart". Would this make a difference?

I was referring to these, from your configure.php files:

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', '');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', '');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DATABASE', '');
