Problem with a MySQL database move.

    Alright the site is http://www.chaeridley.com/blog
    I had some hosting. I made a wordpress and a phpbb board. I got new hosting so I wanted to move it. I moved the board properly and it is working fine. I moved the wp MySQL to the new server. I have changed the config file properly and the .sql dump file. When you visit the site, it still wants to link to the old site. It’s pulling all the stuff from the old hosting. I have moved the actual files to the new ftp as well. Any ideas?

    Yeah. I changed the database name, the username, the password, the host.

    If you look at the link scroll over all the links and stuff. It says http://www.sisforawesome.com That was my old host. When I go into my siteadmin stuff it’s all under http://www.chaeridley.com though which is my new host.

    I checked again. I changed the:

    wp-config
    .sql
    url in phpadmin

    I have no idea what is making it look for stuff on the old server.

    The last section would seem to be what you’re missing

    I don’t think so. I have those changed. Are they wrong? Is that why it’s not working?

    siteurl = http://www.chaeridley.com/blog
    fileupload_realpath = /home/.okinawa/chaeridley/chaeridley.com/blog/wp-c…

    “fileupload_realpath =”
    Not that 🙂

    The wp_options table, when you look at it using phpmyadmin, has at least 3 pages. siteurl is on one, ‘home’ is on another and it’s the one to find and change.
