I recently moved my store from a shared server and DB, to a dedicated(both on the dedicated). All files and DB's were moved keeping the exact same path structure, so there would be minimal changes in scripts.

Basically, all I changed in the "public" and admin config files was the DB_SERVER value from my old location "db...oldhost.com" to "localhost".

On the public side, it reflects the new database (when I add a new user, it gets added to the correct DB for example). On the admin, it still see's the old DB. So all edits get changed in the old DB and not the new.

Under the Server Info in the admin side, it still shows the database host as the old one.

It seems like it should be so obvious, but I'm baffled???

Is there some other location or setting that I'm forgetting to change besides the config files? :blink:

Hi,

there's nowhere else that I am aware of.

I would double-check that config file in the /catalog/admin/includes folder. Could it be that the permissions were set on the file so that the changes you made were not in fact saved? -done that a few times before now :o

Cheers,

The "Server Info" section under the admin pulls the values from the config file...correct?

Nevermind......

I had to make the change under catalog/admin/includes/local/configure.php

I was always under the impression that this file wasn't important, but I'm glad it's working.

Thanks for the help.
