Database Connection Issues
23 July 2014
The most common problems, that we have experienced is that clients who design there websites using a WAMP setup often forget to update the database details when uploading the files to our server.
Configuration Files : If you have transferred your domain from your local machine, always make sure that you update the CMS`s config files to use the new database details that we have setup for you.
Example Configs Below :
- Impress Pages (ip_config.php)
define('DB_SERVER', 'mysql.yourdomain.co.za'); // eg, localhost
define('DB_USERNAME', 'exampledb');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '***********');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'exampledb');
define('DB_PREF', 'ip_');
- Wordpress (wp-config.php)
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'exampledb');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'exampledb');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.yourdomain.co.za');
- Joomla (configuration.php)
public $dbtype = 'mysqli'; public $host = 'mysql.yourdomain.co.za'; public $user = 'exampledb'; public $password = '*********'; public $db = 'exampledb'; public $dbprefix = 'ijao8_';
- Opencart (config.php)
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'mysql.yourdomain.co.za');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'exampledb');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '***********');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'exampledb');
define('DB_PREFIX', );
