Hi all,
Been trying to move a MW database that we have stored in our LAN over to
godaddy.com hosting services (I am not promoting, it just that this is the
service I ue, and if anyone has prior experiance with it, id love to hear
it)
Anyway, my original tables and the ones on the auto install are different.
And I can not figure out how to direct the web to access my old names.
I have copied my tables to the new names strucutre. This seems to be a bad
idea, as there is also a version difference between the 2. I am not a php
guro, but where in the script does it start to mention to which table to
connect? I have looked all over in icnludes, setup, maintenance , can't find
anything.
Would love to hear your advise.
Thanks,
Saar

Upgrading is still a pretty good idea, though...
