Pointing to the database?

EarthRat · December 31st, 2008, 5:09 AM

I am setting up a Joomla install and uploading a database. I am not at all familiar with the file structure and need to know how to point the config file to the location of the database?

Can't you import it in phpmyadmin?

Yes I used phpmyadmin to import my database. The problem was not that, it was getting the config file to point to the location of the database. Which is '/home/mysite/public_html/logs'.

Sometimes to just slow down and think in logical terms is the best way. I have waited for 11 days for 1and1 to release my domain. Got frustrated...
