I just updated perch to the latest version but I'm still getting an error.

Error: Could not connect to the database

Please check that the access details specified in /stormpc/config/config.php file are correct.

Hi Arron, have you created a new database on the new server and uploaded a copy of the old database to the new?

Your new database probably has a different name and password.

You'll need to enter these details into /stormpc/config/config.php eg.

define("PERCH_DB_USERNAME", 'ADD YOUR DATABASE USERNAME');
define("PERCH_DB_PASSWORD", 'ADD YOUR DATABASE PASSWORD');
define("PERCH_DB_SERVER", "ADD THE LOCATION OF YOUR DATABASE (often 'localhost', sometimes an IP address or url");
define("PERCH_DB_DATABASE", "ADD YOUR DATABASE NAME");
