Hello,

Does anybody know how to rename my database name through my remote FTP access? Any information would be helpful.

Thank you,
Chris

If you don't have terminal access, you can backup your database than dump it. Create a new and import via phpmyadmin.

Dear Sir

I can't seem to find that config.inc.php file you mentioned. Would you happen to know which folder it's in?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

Regards,
Chris
