IPS Driver Error

There appears to be an error with the database.

That’s because the database of the new site has a different name than the one it was copied from. You just can’t avoid it when your cpanel usernames are different.

Say your create a db named “users” This name gets transformed into

"your Cpanel name _ users"

So when you want to connect to the database, your db name is “yourCpanelname_users”.

If you host somewhere else and have a different CPanel user name, your db name will also change to “yourNewCPanelName_users”.

One way of fixing this is to have the new CPanel name be the same as your old one. I’m not sure if it is possible, but it’s worthwhile trying.

Another way of doing it is to change your code. You will have to edit/change your code for this solution to work, changing the name of the database in your code

From:
yourCpanelname_users

to:
yourNewCPanelName_users
