Where do I change database info?

Postby Skelp » Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:40 pm

Hey folks.
I'm moving my site to a new server. I've backed up and uploaded all the files to the new server and have backed up the full database. However I know I need to change some info in the files for the database information... But I don't know which files to find this info in..... Can anyone lead me in the right direction please.

Also... just wanna make sure I'm doing this right before all my members start getting error messages heehe.....

I I took all the files from the old server, uploaded them to the new server.
Backed up the database and am about to import it.
Once I find out what pages the database info is in I will change that.....

Is this all I need to do?

Thanks in advance.

config.php has the database info.

check the "cookie" link in my signature, since your old cookie and domain settings might not work on this new server and you need to set them correct for this install.
