transferring out of netsol can be a pain; i wonder if they changed that in later years (I used to use them too lol)
All I know is that moving my single personal domain from NSI to godaddy was really quite painless. Maybe it was the fact that I got 9 years of registration for $64 (a LOT less than I paid for my first year at NSI) that made it seem so painless.
I recall that there were two phone calls involved, but beyond that, it was pretty easy. (Funny how actually "talking" to people from the comfort of my desk chair is what I consider difficult...)
I've been trying the remote database suggestion (from my test box to the new host). Nothing like a crash course in mysql I guess. (Why couldn't this be something "easy" like Sybase ASE or Caché?
) That actually really seems like a great way to go.
I can connect via the command line mysql app, so I know I'm OK from a network/firewall perspective. I'm just having issues with UBB connecting. I'm only aware of a single config value I need to change in config.inc.php ('DATABASE_SERVER' => '[ip address]',) assuming everything else is the same including the username/password combo. I just get the rather cryptic message:
UBB Message
We encountered a problem. The reason reported was
Database error only visible to forum administrators

Odd considering I AM a forum administrator.
What am I missing?
