Database Change issue

[mattballew]

Alright, IM not sure what im doing wrong here.. but i recently changed website hosts.. I took a backup of the SQL and put it in to the new My SQL Server..

When i changed the info of the SQL Server in the config.php file under the includes directory of my forum, it now redirects to the /install.php site... I dont want to install, the forum is already installed..

how do i bypass this? it didn't happen until i changed the database info.

delete install.php from your server for starters. If it's already installed it's not needed. ;) See if that fixes the problem. When you try to go to your admincp, you should get an error message telling you to delete this file.

Yeah, now it trys to forward to the file, that dosent exist :P
So i get a 404 error

Then it sounds like your database tables didn't get imported properly. Go into your PHPMyAdmin and make sure that your tables are installed.

Check your database tables and see if they have a table prefix. If so, make sure you enter it into your config.php file.
