Changing hosting caused me to be unable connect to my website

Asked By jeremy ngo 20 points N/A Posted on - 05/09/2012

I have a website that uses Joomla 1.5.20 but I have changed the hosting. When I did that I got an error message in the front page saying "Could not connect (0):" I can still login as the administrator and if I try to check the site offline, the login screen can be seen from the home page. I have uploaded the files for the site using Filezilla. I have made the database, the users and managed the database through phpmyadmin. I previously had cPanel but now I have changed to Plesk. How I can I move into my new host without getting an error message? Can Does anybody have a solution to this?  Your knowledge with these things can really help me.

This is very common issue to change the hosting server for any personal reason. You can shift easily your website in a new hosting by follow some tips. At first you should create back up file for your database, then you should import your previous website data by simply create a new database in your new hosting.  Then import your previous database file in your new database successfully.

You got error message for your wrong database configuration. You could not configure it when you installed joomla in your new hosting. So make sure the database information with your previous database.

 

Thanks
