This is the situation:
I installed a back up on my new domain using akeeba: www.envisionavsolutions.com
I still have my old site active: www.kmrental.biz
I used the same database
I did this because im changing our business name starting january and i just wanted to have my old site transferred to the new domain and just change a few things on the site.
i cant log in properly in the new site:
I noticed this. when i change something in the old site, it changes the new site too.
What is the best way to proceed?
i just want to accomplish these things:
1. Copy my old site to the new domain (Finished)
2. Point my old site so that when people clicks on any google or yahoo links it connects directly to the same page in the new site
3. Delete the old site permanently.
Any idea, help please

I ran into this recently, and I resolved it by upgrading the new site to the latest joomla version. 1.5.15 to 1.5.22
Are you on the same host?
Is the login just looping ,or are you getting a warning about the login being invalid?
I tried everything here: www.pwrusr.com/web-master/cannot-login-t...mla-backend-as-admin
But the upgrade fixed it for me. - Google Analytics Certified Individual.

The problem i am having i think is because they have the same database. i didnt know what to do so when i installed the back up on the new site, i used the old database.
So now i have 2 sites both active same everything with the same database.
Thanks for helping. anyone with more ideas on the best way to do this?

Just export your current db, then set the new site to use it.
Update your configuration.php for the new settings. - Google Analytics Certified Individual.

var $live_site = 'http://www.your_site.com/';
var $host = localhost';
var $user = 'your_username';
var $db = 'database_name';
var $password = 'YourPassword';
var $dbprefix = 'jos_'; - Google Analytics Certified Individual.

Mark,
I managed to export the database using php myadmin. Question how do i import it in a way that it will be detected as a different database from the original one?
Thanks
