Hi There,

I had installed and configured Drupal on one server and then had to move the whole site to another server. Now how do I reconfigure the db access via ftp? I currently only get a "Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
Which I assume shows up because Drupal can't connect to the db because of different credentials...

Thank you for hints and assistance!
Ron

No, this is a server error. Look in your server error logs to find the problem.

Contact me to contract me for D7 -> D10/11 migrations.

One way to do this is to install a fresh Drupal on the new server and make sure that works. Then save that settings.php file for reference and THEN do the migration.

Thanks for the replies. Is there any other way than to make a new install first? I got the server error removed now and get some drupal error now. Check on: http://s412202481.onlinehome.us/mob/

Thanks,
Ron

Are you using the same settings.php as you used on the original server?

Yep, I changed the credentials in settings.php for reference, the file is to change the db setting in is ./sites/default/settings.php

Thanks :)

It would appear that you most likely set the database incorrectly in your settings.php.

Your error is "Unknown MySQL server host" meaning your settings.php is wrong. I still recommend trying a new install. Would take as long as it will take you to make another post to this forum and I bet you can solve this problem by doing that.
