Database Prefix

[Erica]

hiya
I had zencart installed and working on one domain name.
I have now decided to change hosts and to put the install on a different domain.
Before I cancelled my hosting on domain 1, I backed up all the files and also backed up the database.
I have installed zencart on domain 2 and am in the process of transferring the old files to the new domain.
I deleted all the database entries on the new install and imported the old database sql file from domain 1.
the problem i am having is this:
when I installed zencart on domain 2 it asked for domain prefix and i put esparkle_
when i import the previous database, the tables (or whatever they are called) have no prefix on them. I cant see a way to rename them and add esparkles_ to them, so is there a way i can go back and delete the esparkle_ prefix from the installation of zencart or do i have to delete and start over ?

does all that make sense?

Many thanks for any help you can give

well i figured out that bit - i needed to change the configure files in admin/includes and includes .. but now i have hit another snag.
you load up the site: www.esparkles.co.uk and at the top i get this error:

Your session-directory in your Admin->Configuration->Sessions is still pointing to the old server setup.
These FAQs talk about ways of fixing that.

Nice one, thank you Dr Byte.
It wouldnt allow me to change the sessions bit in admin, so I downloaded that fix cache file and ran it. I then deleted the log files or something because they were older than 2 months old and everything is running great (as far as my untrained eye can see anyway lol)
Theres no errors showing now, and all my customers and their previous orders are showing, as is my catalogue

Thanks again for your help
