I'm having quite a time just moving my site over to TCH, as various scripts (osCOmmerce, Invision Powerboard etc) all create the mySQL databases with your user name in them. When you move to a different server, I've just found out about the need to "re-link" the copied installs to the mySQL files on the new server (and with a new file path).<br /><br />For example, in osCommerce I know you can go into catalogue/includes/configure.php and alter the database username, password and database name in there to get it to find the database with the new name.<br /><br />How you do this for Invision Powerboard I'm still trying to figure out, but unfortunately because it's a "third party script" issue and not a "hosting issue" Tech support won't touch it! <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> (No, apparently the fact that it works fine until the host changes does not make it a hosting issue). <br /><br />Anyway, long story short, a tutorial on how to migrate commonly installed scripts such as IVPB to your servers would be FABULOUS and save us all a lot of time!<br /><br />Thanks!<!--content-->
