# Moved server- admin not displaying posts from database

 * I have recently moved to a new server keeping the same domain. I imported the.
   sql file to the new database and edited the wp-config.php file accordingly but
   the posts are not being displayed either on my website or in wordpress admin.
   I have checked in the database and the files are there but they are not being
   displayed. Its as though my admin panel in wordpress has been reset back to the
   start. A new post works fine but I need to retrieve my old posts. It may help
   to know my old plugins were showing in wordpress admin but I had to activate 
   them all again.
 * I hope this makes sense, any advice much appreciated.

 * Thanks, but from reading that, I think I have reinstalled by mistake. Is there
   anyway I can retrieve my old posts?
 * Thanks in advance

 * Did you make a database backup before the move?

 * Yes the database is backed up. I have checked the database and it includes all
   my posts but the problem is they are not showing in wordpress admin or on my 
   blog.

 * Make sure you have correct database details in your config file. if you have 
   reinstalled using diff prefix it will create new set up tables.

 * All the details in config file are correct in relation to the new database I 
   created. The only thing I am not sure about which I think you may be talking 
   about is where it says:
 * $table_prefix =
 * What do I need to do here?

 * Leave it as:
    `$table_prefix = 'wp_';` unless you’re setting up a second install
   of WordPress using the same database or want to increase mysql table security.
   Any combination of lowercase letters followed by a single underscore should be
   fine.
