[NTLUG:Discuss] Mysql help needed

[Fred]

I need someone who knows mysql to walk me through
fixing my website. The person who wrote it and who is
hosting it is not available for a while and he hasn't been 
the most available person, especially after he got paid.
I know, don't remind me...
'The website is up and running at his place but I want it
running on my server here. The problem is that he 
sent me all the files which I added here and the config files 
had his file/dir paths. I think that I have removed all 
instances referring to those file/dir paths and
put in the correct entries for here but I still don't connect
to the mysql database. I have the admin gui but very
little knowledge of mysql. It is probably a simple problem
but it could be sitting in front of me and I wouldn't know it.

So, maybe someone could email their contact info to me
off-list?

Thanks,
Fred
