Hey gang, I have a Bludomain site hosted by Bludomain (they are high-end flash-based galleries for professional photographers). I am changing my brand and domain and have moved to Dreamhost. My original site and whatnot are all still on Bludomain’s servers while I build my new site.
Long story short - I have copied my file structure to my new domain and imported the MySQL database from my previous domain. I can’t get them to point to each other and I am not sure how to do that. I left the structure the same, except for the blindingly obvious - it is going from www.pegasus-photography.com to www.laurennicolephoto.com
I am not contacting Bludomain for help because they are notoriously EVIL and hate their customers, plus they would charge me $80 (if they bothered to help me at all) to transfer my files. I also have a feeling that they’d say, “new domain name, too bad, you have to re-purchase your flash template.”
I don’t know a thing about MySQL or PHP but I’m hoping there is a way that I can tell my new MySQL database where to find these files. Can anyone help?
Major thanks in advance!!
For reference: I followed these instructions up until steps 5 & 6 because it doesn’t make any sense to me.
