Paul,
Are they the same version of Joomla?
Do a fresh install with sample data. This way you know that install works.
Install the template you want.
Download the new configuration.php
Create a new empty DB
Upload the old db to this new DB
Change the configuration.php to match this new DB
That should work.
If not you have other issues. What type of hosting do you have?
If you look at the old db is the data there?

Paul. Please tell me what you are trying to do? Choose A or B or is it
something else?
A) Are you moving the Joomla website from one server to another server?
B) Is the Joomla site on the same server and you moved it to a
different part of the server or did you delete the old Joomla site and
reinstalled a new one?
I am assuming that you are trying to do A. If that is the case, here
is a tutorial that worked for me. It's old, but PHPMyAdmin hasn't
changed much in the past four years.

If you can't see the data in PHPAdmin than the data was not imported properly.
Tell me more... Is this website on a different server from the old one?
If you moved the site to a different server: How did you export the
database from the previous server and how did you import it into the
new one?

What options would those give?

Can you export the previous database again through PHPMyAdmin using REPLACE

I'm browsing bak_users in phpadmin, all i see is the super admin.
When i first started working on this a few days ago, i did a new install
and assigned it to the previous mysql database during install.
Could that have erased any of the data?

Isn't there a debugger that can be turned on that displays the sql query

Helvécio,
I followed your directions.
After logging into the admin, i went to users.
I dont see any of the names but the super admin.

Try this:
1. Do a clean install of Joomla (no sample data)
2. In PHPMyAdmin control panel, choose the database this new install is
using
3. Go to the IMPORT tab, choose your previous database and upload it
4. That should do the trick! Previous members and passwords wil be there,
as well as all the rest of the content.

Both front and back end.
No i dont see the articles.
Same template.

Where are you not seeing the old data, in the admin, on the public facing
side? When you go into the list of articles in admin, do you see the old
articles? Are you using a different template with a different layout?

Hi Donna,
I do still have the database used for the previous install.
The new install is set to it in configuration.php
The problem is that i still don't see any of the previous database
information on the new site.
On Oct 6, 2010, at 8:18 AM, Donna Marie Vincent wrote:
In "configuration.php", you can set the db name, db password and db
username. Set it to the database used for the previous install, assuming
you still have that info. That info would be in the configuration.php file
of the previous install.
If you don't have that info, you can open your webhosting control panel
and create another username and password for that database.

Subject: [joomla] reconnect to mysql database
Hello,
I am trying to connect a new joomla installation to the mysql database of
a previous install.
The install was successful but i don't see any of the original data
after.
I even dragged content (i.e.- components, images, modules, plugins,
admin, etc.) from the previous install via ftp and none of it shows up.
Does anyone know how to connect to the content in the previous installs
mysql database?
Thanks,
Paul
