I am having problems after changing my domain name and using an exisiting host. when I go to the homepage I get this error
DB function failed with error number 1146
Table 'urban.jos_session' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT session_id FROM jos_session WHERE session_id = '8668c14adeb0c7c6223daf5bb3d15b84'
SQL =
SELECT session_id
FROM jos_session
WHERE session_id = '8668c14adeb0c7c6223daf5bb3d15b84'
I have looked about for an answer but am confusing myself. I need a step by step help
I think you are using MySQL version 5.0. This is a problem that pops up. See if your web-host still has the option to run version 4.1. If they do, you try to export your tables and then attempt an import into a new 4.1 DB.

You're missing a table (jos_session) in your database. When you moved hosts, are you sure you got a good database backup and that it imported to your new host correctly?
I misunderstood. So you simply switched domain names. But you mention that you deleted the previous database and created a new one. Did you install Joomla on the new domain after creating the new database? Was there any import of the old database into the new one?
Do you have backups of your database, etc?
If not, after re-creating the site, back it up.
Best of luck.
Btw, there is automated backup software out there - joomlacloner is a great one.
