Connecting to Old Database?

[lockitmb]

It seems like I might be connecting to the original database on x05, is this even possible? My site is on x13 now but I have been trying to manipulate my database using phpMyAdmin through DirectAdmin and it is not making any difference in my SQL results. Changes I make to my website do not update the DB I see in phpMyAdmin.

Is there something I need to do to connect to the correct database? I'm still using 'localhost'

Thank you

localhost should always connect you to the correct mysql server, you should not even be able to connect to the old one from the new server.

Can you check if the domain actually responds with the correct IP using the ping command (windows powershell can be used for that for newer windows versions for instance)

Thanks Anna. I’m not sure what you are asking me to ping but I made an assumption. My website (lockitmb.x10host.com) resolves to 198.91.81.6. The server I am on (x13.x10hosting.com) resolves to 198.91.81.6. If you need me to ping something else just let me know.

I’m also not able to directly log in to my Direct Admin from the link on my website, I get
“Sign in Successful Please standby while transfer you to your web hosting account.
An error has occurred forwarding your sign in.”

I Am able to login directly to Direct Admin using the link “https://x13.x10hosting.com:2222/”. Maybe this has something to do with it?

*Edit: corrected domain name

when i try lockitmb.x10hosting.com i get

Domain Does Not Exist
The web hosting account you're trying to reach no longer exists

 

[lockitmb]

Thanks for catching that, it is actually lockitmb.x10host.com.

i see a 404 not found error now.
do you have a index.php or index.html file in public_html ?

There is something funky with DNS, that IP is that of the old server and should NOT be the result you get for your domain, I have alerted higherups (there are some other things related to DNS he is already looking into so might be related).

Though, if x13.x10hosting.com also pings to the same IP there's something majorly wrong, there's no directadmin on that IP, could you please verify that is the case?

Sometime earlier today everything started working ok. I can also login in to DirectAdmin from my account sign in page too. Thanks for the help Anna and spacersx

Yeah, dns issues was looked at and sorted out last night, we also took care of a couple login bugs we found.
