Moving a Store

[Stargrrl]

I am atttempting to migrate an existing store to another hosting platform. The server its currently on is a Windows server and we are moving to a Unix platform.

The store is currently moved onto the new server but we have having some trouble locating a database that the store script is referring to as shown below:

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'zebra_osc1');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'ZLG_HTw4bL');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'zebra_osc1');

Verio says there is no such database and I've looked in their control panel and see no SQL database is set up there, so I believe they dont see it but I know it must exist somewhere as the store is using it.

Im hoping a shopsite administrator can help us with instructions on how to get a .tar of that database so we can continue on with the migration.

Store Version - ShopSite® Pro 7.1.4.1

Thanks much,
A

You've got something mixed up here, ShopSite itself does not use a MySQL database so it has no settings like you show in your post. So it is either a 3rd-party add-on for ShopSite, or some completely unrelated product. Either way, it's not part of ShopSite and you likely won't find any assistance for it here, you will need to talk to the creator of that 3rd-party module or application.

Thank you Loren, to clarify, what you are saying is the default installation of Shopsite does not include the the chunk of code that I've pasted on my original post?

If I could just find this database I think it would work but strangely it isnt anywhere to be found. I dont know what type of database it is, just that the above script found in our particular store (I didnt set this one up) is pointing to it.

Thanks again,
A

Yes, I am saying that the default installation of ShopSite does not include that piece of code.

Some of the settings in that piece of code contain the letters 'osc', which could conceivably (and perhaps not, too) stand for OSCommerce, which is a different shopping cart application altogether.

I thought the same thing when I saw the "osc", having set those up before, but having no shopsite experience I thought it was a coincindece, thanks again for the info.
