    Default Migrating Store to another server

    I trying to migrate a store from one webhost to another. I thought I did it correctly, but when I navigate to the new store on the new server, the shop keeps redirecting me to the install.

    What I did was...
    1. Used phpMyAdmin and export all the SQL statement that recreates the databases.
    2. Copy all the PHP files from first webhost to second webhost.
    3. Run all the SQL statements to recreate the database.
    4. Changed the includes/configure.php to access the new database on the new host.

    Somehow the store knows that it has been re-incarnated.
    How do I get the store on the new host to run like where it left off from the old host?

    you also need to change the server paths,
    example /home/username/public_html/
    to /what/ever/the/new/path/is

    there are 2 places to change this in the includes/configure.php and 3 places to change in admin/includes/configure.php
