 If the newly installed store is supposed to use a database that was previously used use by another X-Cart installation, the data in such database is already encrypted by the Blowfish key generated by that store. It means that neither your nor any of your customers will be able even to log in to their accounts, because the value of the variable $blowfish_key is different to the value of the key which was used to encrypt the store database. To resolve this issue, you need to open the main configuration file <u>config.php</u> for editing and change the value of the variable $blowfish_key to the value of the Blowfish key that was used by the previous X-Cart installation.

 X-Cart keeps the Blowfish in the main configuration file <u>config.php in </u>the variable $blowfish_key. Before the store is installed, the $blowfish_key variable contains a default value. When you install X-Cart using the Installation Wizard, the installation script <u>install.php</u> generates a new Blowfish key and writes it to the $blowfish_key variable in the <u>config.php </u>file. With manual installation, a new Blowfish key is never generated. And when the installation is complete, the $blowfish_key variable still contains the default value. Using the default Blowfish key is not secure, because its value is known to many people. And you need to generate a new value for the Blowfish key.
-To generate a new Blowfish key you should go to the <u>Summary/Tools</u> section of the Admin area and use the <u>Re-generate the Blowfish encryption key</u> tool. For details on how to carry out this task see section [[X-Cart:Advanced Tools]].
