There are various ways to determine your database prefix. One requires access to the root of your Joomla! site while the other requires access to the Joomla! back-end.
Using the Joomla! back-end (Super administrators only)[edit]
- Log in to the Joomla! backend
- Go to "Global Configuration" by clicking the button or via the menu (Site > Global Configuration)
- Go to the "Server" Tab.
- Under "Database Settings", look for "database prefix. The value you find there is your database prefix.
Tip: Look for the yellow warning symbol
Using Configuration.php (Requires acces to site root)[edit]
- Go to the document root, and find "configuration.php"
- Open the file in a text editor.
- Search for "dbprefix".
- You'll see the line var $dbprefix = 'value. The value you see here (e.g jos_) is your database prefix.
