I am tranferring Joomla website from my local server to a live server.

I need to change the database name when I do so.

Can anyone tell me which file I need to change please?

Thanks in advance.

+1  A: 

configuration.php in the root of the joomla install, replace the line

var $db = 'old-database'

with:

var $db = 'new-database'

Also, be sure to change the hostname and password if necessary:var $password = 'newpassword';var $host = 'localhost';
