bigjohn Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Hi all - need some urgent help here. 1 - backed up all the files from the running ad server 2 - unzipped the files into 'newads' directory 3 - because the original is running in a subdomain, (ads.xxxxxxxx.com), created a new subdomain (newads....) 4 - copy database with phpmyadmin 5 - assign same user to DB with full permissions 6 - edit conf file (renamed for the new path/subdomain) and edited not only the DB, but all the paths) when i try to go to the subdomain it shows the path <mydomain>/www/admin/install.php and the browser errors out with: This webpage has a redirect loop. I have new campaigns starting saturday, and I need to update this ASAP! Thanks for your attention. Quote
bigjohn Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Posted February 26, 2014 Ok, I got past that - forgot to edit the .htaccess file... but now i have this: application - Openads configuration file detected - Could not connect to the database : cigarz_newads NOT OK and I copied the config file. I also added the same DB user. So there should not be an access problem?? Quote
bigjohn Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Posted February 26, 2014 Ok, i created a new user for the DB, and still no joy... HELP!? Quote
BaliDave Posted February 27, 2014 Report Posted February 27, 2014 If your DB user password has special characters in it, e.g. =& you must put quotes around the whole password. That burned me. Good luck. Quote
