Re: Where are by stores database and passwords

Look at your includes/configure.php file. The setting DB_SERVER tells you the hostname your database is on. If it's "localhost" it is on the same server where your cart is.
The name of the database is given by the setting DB_DATABASE. The userid and password are provided by set settings DB_SERVER_USERNAME and DB_SERVER_PASSWORD.

Log in to your hosting account, go to Cpanel, then go to phpMyAdmin, select this database, and you'll see all your settings.

Re: Where are by stores database and passwords

Thanks that is great. I had already exported the database from my provider as I am now going to host it on my own server.
