Could someone tell me which is the database table where setting info are written. I am new to PostNuke and could not figure out which is the table (in PHPNuke the table is nuke_config). I need the table to directly change the theme name as I messed up with the current theme and the site is showing error.

You can change the theme name by changing the folder name in themes.

Thanks for replying. But I need to access the database table to alter the theme name. Changing the name in the folder not going to affect the theme already set in the setting. I need to set another working theme as my current set theme is not working and the site is basically down. Does anybody know where the setting parametres are stored in the database???

All configuration for modules and the system is stored in <prefix>_module_vars - however you don't need this. If you perform a search (or look in the FAQ) for the error your getting (themeheader...) then you'll see reference to the Swiss Army Knife tool which will allow you change your theme without going into the DB.

Always use the search tool and look in the faq prior to posting.

Jayantabsarma,
YOu want to go into <prefix>_module_vars go the pn_id =9, and pn_name=Default_Theme change the value for pn_value to the theme that you wanted. Swiss Army Knife tool is a very handy thing to have when such things happen. As always backup ur DB before you make any changes.
Good luck,
