Ok, need some help. Moving my Joomla 1.0 site from one provider to GoDaddy.
On my 4th attempt with this and need help from you smarty pants out there......
What I have done:
1) FTP-ed all folders and files to my new root directory. -Successful.
2) Created a new database.-Successful.
3) Imported my old database. -Successful.
4) Change my config.php file - Not successful.
Something is wrong....I have tried all the spots I thought I was supposed to change but am missing something and my site just shows the Joomla title page and says "Could not connect to the database server."
Can someone help?? Here is my file....and in red what I changed.
<?php

- I'm thinking your mosConfig_db should just be 'igla_joomla01' without all the stuff after it. But that's just a guess.

Not sure if this will help or not but I had severe issues with godaddy making some unique host names and usernames and such for the databases. Go to godaddy's hosting control center. Go to Databases mysql from the drop down menus. Click the pencil icon next to the database name.
Now click the Configuration button above. Confirm the hostname, username and database name you are using there.

So two things...
1) Mark was right about this...
$mosConfig_db = 'igla_joomla01.db.4670487.hostedresource.com'; SHOULD HAVE BEEN...
$mosConfig_db = 'igla_joomla01';
2) The above was 'igla_joomla01.db.4670487.hostedresource.com' was actually supposed to be in this spot...$mosConfig_host = 'localhost'; instead of "local host".
Now I am all set.
Thanks!
