tomerg3 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 You cannot use the back database on a different site, as all the passwords are encrypted using the COOKIE_KEY in /config/settings.inc.php You would need to copy that value from the old site (same as the DB you are copying) onto the new site.

Open /config/settings.inc.php and copy that value from old site to new. If you copy the DB backup and all the files, you should be fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
