Help pointing blog at new database

1 Oct 11, 2008 18:14    

My b2evolution Version: 2.4.5

My Host is discontinuing the use of MySQL4 and transitioning to MySQL5. Due to this I need to point my blog at a newly created database.

With the assistance of a converting tool set up by the host I've already converted my old database to a new one (with different name as required by host/MySQL).

I just need a bit of assistance in pointing my blog to this new database. Do I just rerun the install? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forums.

All you have to do is edit the following lines in conf/_basic_config.php

/**
 * MySQL DB settings.
 * Fill in your database details (check carefully or nothing will work!)
 */
$db_config = array(
	'user'      => '',     // your MySQL username
	'password'  => '',     // ...and password
	'name'      => '',     // the name of the database
	'host'      => '',     // MySQL Server (typically 'localhost')
);
