Move from a test server to real server and domain?

Post by Linuxnewb »

So here's my problem... I did all my work on a domain that I personally use and will be migrating it to the actual domain where the site will reside... but I am encountering tons of problems.

I was able to export the database from the old and into the new SQL database, changed over the config.php with no problems and got it all working. I copy all the files/folders from the test site to the live site and this is where I get lots of problems... The site shows up, but has nothing but problems.

I'm assuming some of the php files were written upon installation for my certain domain? When I tried logging into the Admin panel it took me to my test site...

I've been able to transfer sites to different domains on the fly with PhpNuke and PostNuke but never encountered anything like this. Anyone have any suggestions?

So it looks like some of the tables in the database were domain specific and made a huge mess... I'm recreating the tables from scratch and copying over certain files to see if that'll work.
