Help! Trying to change from Temp Server

I have done all the work on the New Install of 1.3.9c on a new Host.

It was done while using a temp server and I am now ready to "Go Live"

I changed the NameServer settings 48 hours ago and just realized I need to change the settings in the config.php files.

I think I have them right but I can not get anything to come up and can not get into Admin anymore. Everything has to be done by FTP.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Help! Trying to change from Temp Server

What errors are you seeing when you try to access the store and the admin ?

Re: Help! Trying to change from Temp Server

Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at https://www.topnotchbassbaits.com.

Same on both of them.

If I make a backup of all the files via FTP and backup the DB

Can I do a fresh install after deleting and recreating the DB then upload everything again

EXCEPT the two config files?? :unsure:

Re: Help! Trying to change from Temp Server

You can, but I'd be surprised if it's necessary. Your domain may have not propagated on the new server yet.

Try creating a text file like:

**<html>

<body> Hello, World </body> </html>**

name it index.html and upload it to the root directory. If you can't see that either, the problem isn't with Zencart.

OK, tried it and got the same thing.

I thought it was faster than that on propagating :shocking: !

I'll give it some more time.

Thanks for your help {AGAIN!}

Re: Help! Trying to change from Temp Server

In my experience, DNS changes propagate much more quickly than 48 hours (minutes in many cases).

I'd guess you'll be submitting a ticket with your host tomorrow.

Re: Help! Trying to change from Temp Server

Sometimes I feel DUMB!!!!! :oops:

I checked the DNS settings and I had both of them wrong.

I have corrected them and now I wait for them to propagate.
