How to change the database address?

Hi,

My service provider has changed the address of my database, and now my Gallery 2 site does not work anymore. I was instructed by them to change my application to use the new db address, but I have no idea how to do it. I appreciate if someone can tell how to accomplish this.

Regards,
Marcus.

Thanks for the reply. Please tell me if this is all:

$storeConfig['type'] = 'mysqlt';
$storeConfig['hostname'] = 'REMOVED';
$storeConfig['database'] = 'REMOVED';
$storeConfig['username'] = 'REMOVED';
$storeConfig['password'] = 'REMOVED';
$storeConfig['tablePrefix'] = 'g2_';
$storeConfig['columnPrefix'] = 'g_';
$storeConfig['usePersistentConnections'] = false;
$gallery->setConfig('storage.config', $storeConfig);

Because these information are updated and the application is still not running. Is there some other place where I should change things as well?

Regards,
Marcus.

To answer your question, change the hostname setting.

NEVER post sensitive information like that. Best to change as much of that information as possible, and try not to use such weak passwords either

Ask your host to make sure all the other information is correct. And since you'll be resetting your password soon, you should know exactly what that is

For something like DB passwords since they are typically written in some file and you typically don't need to type them to log into something, I make mine very complex. It's saved in the db connection file (config.php in G2's case) and I also save my passwords in a program like Password Safe that can keep all that stuff encrypted:

I bet I know what year you were born
