Directory Shifting issue

**AbhishekDaaga** · #1 (**permalink**) 12-04-2007, 06:36 PM

Hello,

I am shifting my directory from a old to new host but i am having a lot of problems... I am using the PHPLD 3.x version and that was installed by a friend and not by me... and i have no details of DB user name and password...
I tried the backup and restore but did not work but ASIM told me the problem was with the user name... and as mine was a reseller a/c i created a username same as it was with in old a/c... and now the new problem is DB username and password

and as i saw there was no config file in phpld like in WP so that i can see that file and restore the same...

SO what is the solution for this ???

Regards

Abhishek Daaga

Hello Abhishek,
You can find the config file for PHPLD in /include/config.php

And to regain the password, go to PHPMyAdmin from your Hosting control panel and find the table for Admin in phpld database

If you will send me your phpLD username for your license, I can get you moving in the right direction. What is the url of your directory?

So is it possible to shift our directory from old host to new host if we forget our DB username and password david

You need to:
1. Get a backup of the database from your old host
2. Create a new database at your new host
3. Import the backup

You either have access to your database at your old host, or you don't. It is that simple. The password (as mentioned above) would be in your config file on your phpLD installation.
