We are going to attempt to move our SQL database that FogBugz uses to a different server. I know how to change the connection string from the site settings screen, but I am worried that if something goes wrong we will not be able to get back in to FB to restore the connection string back to what it originally was.

So, I was wondering if the connection string was stored somewhere on the web server where it could be manually modified if the app is unavailable.

Or is my worry misplaced?

Thanks

It is stored in the sConnectionstring value.

On a Windows server, it is in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fog Creek Software\FogBugz\C:/Program Files/FogBugz/website

Of course this may vary depending on your install location. The above assumes it was installed to C:/Program Files/FogBugz/website Additionally, if you are running FogBugz in 32-bit mode on a 64-bit server, it will be in the Wow6432Node:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fog Creek Software\FogBugz\C:/Program Files/FogBugz/website

On a Linux server, it is in the application.data file in the Accessories folder in your FogBugz directory. e.g. /opt/fogbugz/Accessories/application.data
