rusticc3 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I am with Justhosts and I want to change hosting to fasthosts. I have copied all the files via FTP to the new hosting server and I have uploaded my CC mysql database as well. I have changed the includes/global.inc file to reflect the new ip address, but I cannot find the HTACCESS file in the root directory that may need changing. Fasthost tech say the configuration file need changing but what to and where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 @havenswift-hosting would be the one likely to know. Are you still on v5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenswift-hosting Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 So Fasthosts are not doing the move for you then and are not willing (or know how) to help ? The includes/global.inc.php file is the config file and the only things that might need changing would be the database fields - server may be IP address if not on localhost and the database name, username and password may have changed but if you created these on your new hosting then you should know these There shouldnt be anything in the .htaccess file that would need changing and it probably wasnt copied across if your FTP program doesnt display . files CubeCart should recreate it for you or you can change your FTP client settings to display files starting with a period and then copy it across Take the chance to upgrade to latest V6 though !

rusticc3 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 If I install v6 onto the new hosting server a) will it use my existing sql database and can I then add upload existing image folder etc to v6? I am just a bit worried about getting the domain name redirected before I know the new system will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Get your current V5 store up and running first on your new hosting so that you are happy with it and only then do an upgrade (not a new install) when it will use the upgraded database and all images will be in place already Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
