upgrade / new domain

i went ahead and put the upgrade to a new domain. i kept the user name of the domains the same but not the database names. now, in myPHPadmin I have 2 different table prefixes. one is addyfact_ and the other is zen_

when i imported my old database tables, i eneded up with a ton of them, 2 different names. how do i get my old site's database to work with the new sites setup?

everything installed fine, i just need my products to show up now. also, would my catagory and diefined pages be part of the database or are they html pages that i'll need to retrieve from the old domain?

thanks

Re: upgrade / new domain

Hopefully you know your way around the DB...
From old site > export the DB but only the tables for the cart. Should be about 95 or more if you have modules that add tables
Apply - import - to your new site DB

Re: upgrade / new domain

i did that but i have 2 different table prefixes now. the one from my old database and the one from the install of the new cart to the new domain.

one set is addyfact_ and the other set with like names is zen_

does that make sense?

Didn't do it correctly - try first dropping all tables in the new DB then importing the previous DB

Make sure to edit th 2 configure.php files for the DB Details

Re: upgrade / new domain

ok great, i bet im on the right track with your post now. but i'll try in a bit. i have to set time aside for this stuff. that edit the config tip is going to be the ticket.
