Moving existing install to new server... HELP!!!
ok, so I admit I am a complete noob when it comes to zen cart configuration. I am moving an installation from server A to server B. Both servers are using cpanel for configuration so I compressed all the files into a zip, downloaded to local workstation, then unzipped and uploaded with all the same pemissions to the new server. I used the backup wizard to grab the .gz file for the SQL database and everything goes smoothly until I restore the SQL database and the page throws up an error about not being able to access the db.
I went into the config.php file in the includes directory and updated the db name as cpanel does some funky stuff by renaming it userid_zc1.sql and it was referencing the old sub-domain from the other server it was hosted on and the old UID so I updated all references in the config file that I could find to the new uid_zc1.sql. The only other thing I can think of is that my user names are not going to match exactly for the db in My SQL on cpanel due to it being a new host.
I would post files, but this is for a client that hired me so I can't post files or links under our agreement. If anyone has any suggestions of what I may be doing incorrectly to move over the install, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
