Hi,
 
I'm hoping someone can help me - I've searched for some documentation on this, but cannot find any.
 
We are running version 9.61 with SQL server for the database.  I need to move the database to a different server - part of a server replacement program - I have the server installed, have backed up and restored the database to the new server, but cannot find where the settings are to point the forum to the new database location.
 
Can anyone point me to where these settings are?
 
 
Thanks

Wayne

It depends on where your forum files are being stored. Normally they would be on the same server as your forum I would have assumed. The database connection file will give you the current settings that you have. The file is in the forum/database folder and is called database_settings.asp

As an example
'**********************************************************
'***        Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL Server        ****
'**********************************************************

'Enter the details of your Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL Server and database below
'*********************************************************************************

strSQLServerName = "mywebshost.com" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server (This is the name/location or IP address of the SQL Server)
strSQLDBUserName = "myusername" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBPassword = "myserverpassword" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBName = "thenameofmydatabase"
