skelly100:

db upgrade successful !

logged into old/live admin, reset password to 'password' exported db, imported it into new db

this did the trick, I would presume one of the charecters in my password was gettin 'lost in translation'

Hello I was trying your method, and I am getting an error while importing the old db in to the newly created one
. "#1044 - Access denied for user 'mynew_db'@'%' to database 'myold_db' "

Can you help me?

Thanks!

Issued resolved.

my issue was when I was exporting the old db in to the new db this didn't work well, I did a backup of the old db and a restore on the newly created db, then went and did the db upgrade from zc_install and it worked. :smile:
