Migrating DB, need to reconnect?
Hello,
My hosting plan migrated my service to a new server and I have not been able to connect to my Vanilla account since then. There error codes that come up are below. It looks a bit ominous to a relative newbie like me, but I check to make sure that the directory structure is intact and it appears to be so. I can connect to the install and upgrade files, they return a message that vanilla is already installed. The "appg/init_people.php" that is mentioned so many times is there, but of course that is about where my expertise ends.
I know it may be a lost cause, but if there is anything I can do to reinstate this db I would love some guidance.
thanks,
Henry

Rename (or remove) the conf/settings.php file, and you should be able to run the install again. This should update the paths and hopefully get your Vanilla back on its digital feet.
$Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = '/home/8839/domains/hippopotty.com/html/interactivehank.com/Vanilla.1.0.1/'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = '/home/8839/domains/hippopotty.com/html/interactivehank.com/Vanilla.1.0.1/conf/database.php'; $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/home/8839/domains/hippopotty.com/html/interactivehank.com/Vanilla.1.0.1/library/'; $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = '/home/8839/domains/hippopotty.com/html/interactivehank.com/Vanilla.1.0.1/extensions/'; $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = '/home/8839/domains/hippopotty.com/html/interactivehank.com/Vanilla.1.0.1/languages/'; $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = '/home/8839/domains/hippopotty.com/html/interactivehank.com/Vanilla.1.0.1/themes/vanilla/';
Also, now would probably be a good time to upgrade to Vanilla 1.1.2
1. Back up your existing database with a mysqldump.
2. Delete your existing Vanilla database entirely.
3. Upload the new Vanilla 1.1.2 files to your server.
4. Run a fresh install of Vanilla 1.1.2.
5. Restore your old Vanilla database from the backup.
Then you'll have a completely fresh install with all of your old discussions.
