I have a small business and a guy that has since left the company built our web site using postnuke and osCommerce.
He hosted the site on his own server which is now causing a big problem as he can no longer provide any support.
I now have a new server but do not know have any idea how to go about getting the site running on the new server  . We have backed up all the files and moved them to the new server but there are many errors and clearly more needs to be done.
Can anyone help or know someone that can? |

First off, Welcome to the Site!!!
Now, exactly how did you go about copying and backing up the old site? And did you backup the sql database/s? |

Thanks, that is a quick response. I am impressed
The databases were exported into a.sql.zip format and the files were ftp'd from the live site to my PC and then from my PC to the new site.
the working site on the old server is www.it4automation.com . The new site is www.it4automation.net. |

Ok, it looks to me as if the site is not seeing the new mysql database. This is not unusual.
What Im going to suggest as this point is do nothing until Mars reads through this. He has way more experience in this than myself and hopefully he can point the way.
Hang in there! |

Hi.
Were the databases on the same server?
And did you upload the database to MYSQL on the same server that your files now reside?
I assume that the guy used localhost as your db location when he installed.
If you put your db files on diffferent server then the server your files reside, it will not connect to the DB and then you will have to edit the config file.
However, I just went to your site and I see your site working correctly.
Did you fix it? |
