Fatal error after switching back to old database
By Mark
I just moved to a new database but then tried to switch back to the old one by editing the settings.php file and entering details od the old database. These details are 100% correct. But I'm getting a fatal error. This is for a client who is on shared hosting with godaddy. Even though i have enabled logs, there are no error logs being produced so no go there.
When switching back to an old database, is there anything to do besides editing settings.php?

You must log in to post replies.What is the exact error you're seeing?
Im getting the generic error:
An unrecoverable error has occurred and has been logged. Contact the site administrator with the following information:
Exception #1361900902.
Finally a log has turned up (why do errors not instantly appear in log files? Thats a question for godaddy! I use hours cos of that) with a useful error saying there is a problem connecting to database. It's saying the hostname is wrong. I'll keep plugging away, i've probably got someting small wrong.
