So have attempted several times to upgrade my 3.X site to the 4.X with epic failures each time on my site hosted on Bluehost.
So I decided to try a different angle by just installing 4.X as a separate site and attach it to my existing database and manually move all the modules over per a suggestion I was given.
During the install I try connecting to the database, however it saw that there was data in it and wouldn’t let me proceed. I figured I would just change the connection after the install.
Per the October Documentation it states that the information I need to modify is located under the CONFIG folder in the database.php file… (That file doesn’t contain any information regarding to user names and passwords for any database connection type. It does contain the localhost IP and the Port being used and thats it. All of the other fields have none of the information showing how its connecting the the database file. The other option was a .ENV file that is supposed to be located in the websites root folder. No such file is present in any folder… How is this working unless this information is store elsewhere. Also I check another site I have running and same thing…
