Imported db not rendering site
Permalink
I have installed concrete5 with a new webhost, created a blank database for the install then imported the saved database to the blank one.
However, when I go to the site, nothing is showing apart from the css elements on the page.
Am I missing a step?

Full instructions are athttp://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/installation/moving-a... Even assuming you had no customised files, I think you'd need to consider the 'Update Configuration' section.
Thanks but I just have the database exported from the last C5 site.
How do I change the database details in MyPHPAdmin so the details match?
Unfortunately I didn't keep record!!

I think it's normally done the other way around: you don't change the imported database, but you change application/config/database.php to match it. Your new (imported) database will have a host, database name, user name and password, most of which you will have explicitly specified when you created it on the new host. You put those details in application/config/database.php.
I guess there's a chance that the new database has exactly the same details as its predecessor, in which case this step may not be necessary.
(And I think the link I gave earlier got mangled: let's try this:http://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/installation/moving-a... .)

SOLVED!
I am using an older version of C5 due to server restrictions but I had used the wrong db - imported the one originally created when I first installed the site and all renders great.
