Admin page is wrong.

[David Donohue]

My Zencart is loaded and connects to the database, and I can see the correct data on http://fastnit.com , but when I go to my admin folder, it loads a default database, and I can't admin my site. This is after moving from one isp host to a new one. Where do I set the admin page to be the right one? configure.php is correct. wtf?

[stevesh]

There is also a configure.php file in admin/includes.

[David Donohue]

Yes, that one is also correct. A bit confusing.

[mc12345678]

Yes, that one is also correct. A bit confusing.

All of the database information betweenthe two matches? Same DB_PREFIX for both?

Better yet, post both configure.php files obscuring your DB_PASSWORD and if included your admin directory.

Should have also advised to place that content between CODE tags by selecting the # button in the tools of the message box, but too late for me to suggest that now.

How did this database get populated with it's current content then if not through the admin panel? How long ago was the move from the other server? And at what point did you select to install the default ZC product into the database because it doesn't just appear there without populating the database?

Thought is that although ZC 1.5.4 is supposed to correct the CACHE_KEY without needing the correction tool, the existence or ability to reach the old database may be causing some issues. Per the move to new host procedure, the old site should be placed and left in maintenance mode while the new site is active giving the "internet" time to catch up and link to the proper final destination.
