Re: Restoration and Migration Failing

I did this on the original site, to avoid the complication of a migration until the restoration is working. I restored a full backup to the sthelens domain, and left both sub check boxes unchecked. I then modified wp-config.php to the correct table prefix. And then it prompted me to log in and i got the web page for a new site that still needs Wordpress installed. To reiterate. I went through all this a couple a weeks ago and it restored to the original domain fine. I was using the free version and I even got this error before I figured it out. In the end all I had to do was modify the table prefix after a restore. Thanks, Mike -------------- First Dialog box -------------- Downloading / preparing backup files...
