Test Environment Behaving Strangely

[findingpeace]

I made a mirror image of my forum (mysite.com) at mysite.com/test

I followed the instructions here:

http://www.vbulletin.com/vbcms/conte...ng-A-Test-Site

The problem is, every time I change something on mysite.com/test/admincp, the change also reflects on mysite.com - I first noticed this when I changed the cookie path to /test/, and suddenly everyone got kicked out of mysite.com!!

I tried changing the title to TEST, and mysite.com got a changed title to TEST!

What is going on? Fortunately tools.php helped me fix the main site, but I need a working test environment that I'm not afraid of I don't even understand how this is possible, because config.php is literally going to two different databases. So how is one updating settings for another?

Totally different cookie prefix, username, and password in config.php as well.

Thanks!
