Move from local system to hosted

Hi,

Have really enjoyed using this program, simple… beautiful!

Searched through the forum looking for an answer (maybe not very long tho! :)
I moved my bamboo installation from my local system (can’t work with all these damn power cuts) to a hosted
solution.
Modified all the needed settings in -
bamboo_system_files/application/config/config.php
bamboo_system_files/application/config/database.php
bamboo_system_files/application/config/email.php

Imported the database to a new name “blah_invoice”, wouldn’t allow the old one.
Also root user is not root user anymore but “blah_root” instead.

Won’t run the install script or allow login.

I get the following

“A Database Error Occurred

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.”

I think my original password was simple and now on the hosted solution I can’t have the simple password
for security sakes.

Thanks for your time!

That message will come from the settings in database.php. Double check those first. If you still can’t connect, if you can connect outside of Bamboo I can help you connect Bamboo up. Your host can help with this.

Thanks Derek,

I have asked for a log of the MySQL service to see where the error is.
Hope they come back to me soon!

You shouldn’t need a log. Just a standard, run of the mill PHP page that connects to your DB is fine.

If you know PHP at all, it’ll be along the lines of

mysql_connect($server$user$password)

All sorted, my fault!
