databas error after moven to new server
 

hi all ive just moved my forum to a new server im sure ive did it all right but getting a database error what i think it is, is wen it was on my last server it was on the D drive and now i think its on a diff drive could this be whats cosing the database error ???? if so is there any thing i can change for to make it work ??

We need to see the exact database error before we can speculate about what the cause it.

i couldnt get the error log so i just tried to install a fresh copy and all i get is a blank screen :(

This page is all about the causes of a blank screen - http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/blank_pages


When you get a database error, you need to go View Page Source on it and the database error is listed at the bottom of the page source. That is the error I was wanting to see.

thanks for the info lynne got that sorted now i cant upload my database cos its too big :(

Upload a copy of your database to your website then ask your webhost to import it for you with SSH.

thanks slippy will do that, so is there not a easy way i can do it ive tried bigdump but keep getting a error

Error at the line 12: CREATE DATABASE `forum` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;

Query: CREATE DATABASE `forum` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci;

MySQL: Access denied for user 'scottish_root'@'localhost' to database 'forum'

and ive changed the latin thing but not too sure if its to the right thing and ive out the right database info in

your username/pw appear to be wrong

Remove the CREATE DATABASE line from the backup file.

thanks for all the help all i got it sorted i used a different mysqldumper and worked fine part from one error at the top of the header
