I cleared out the first database with the wrong URL info then turned off my site, changed info, did mysql dump via SSH, changed info back and turned back on my main site.
I have this database now that I've listed in the dev site's config file but I still can't access the folder even! It's mysite.com/dev14 which goes to mysite.com.
What am I doing wrong?
ok, lets slow down a bit.
You copied your site files over to that directory?
You imported that dump to a new database and changed the config on the test site to match?
If you did the above and still not working then change your test site htaccess to 1.htaccess and try adding the forum path to the config in the test site to match the test site path. If you need to change the site path for the test site and cannot access the admincp you can go into the admincp settings in the new database and change the path there.
Also, turn off the password htaccess for now until we get it set and working..
I know Vbulletin lists one of the methods as changing the paths first. I never do that and always go into the database to do it so the main site isn't impacted. It should not matter though for this purpose.
To troubleshoot also try disabling the main site htaccess by renaming it 1.htaccess .. if you still can't get access than it rules out that being the issue.
