Database help

Spyde

Ok, my webmaster just left and the web server I was on went down so I got another one with php and mysql, and I copy all the files that I could before my old site went down to my new site but when I try to go to my new site. www.cujef.com/index.php I get

Warning: main(db/db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cujefcom/public_html/mainfile.php on line 77

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'db/db.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/cujefcom/public_html/mainfile.php on line 77

and line 77 is or the whole section

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
require_once("../../../config.php");
require_once("../../../db/db.php");
} elseif ($inside_mod == 1) {
require_once("../../config.php");
require_once("../../db/db.php");
} else {
require_once("config.php");
require_once("db/db.php");
}

and when I went looking for the db.php I found out I don't have one and I was wondering how I coudl get one or make one etc.

Sounds to me like you have a big problem. db.php I am sure houses all of you backbone database commands (i.e. connection, prefixes, database selection, etc.).

You may have to start from scratch, scan all your pages code for db varaibles and references and recreate them in the new db.ph file, or sue the webmaster for the file.

WOAH!

Ok, if you manage to sort that prob out, one other thing to consider is did you manage to get, or have you got a backup of your database?!

Failing that, get one of us to rebuild it from scratch on a freelance basis.

Good luck!

You either

a. Didn't really copy all of the files.

b. You did copy all of the files, but you have some of them in the wrong place.

As they mention, if it's "a", then you are up a creek, (probably) without a paddle. It could be that db.php just has a connection function in it. But, it probably has more, and that means a lot of time debugging and reconstructing code. Plus, if that file is gone, most of your other include files are probably gone as well ...
