    Default Moved Site, address not working

    I recently moved a Zen Cart from one hosting package to another at the same host company. It went great and smooth and the site is up and running, but! When I try to login to the admin to work on the site it wants to go to the old hosting account and login through there. The site is a sub-domain of my hosting account. Example -

    server address - mydomain.us/blackwidowarms/adminfolder/login.php? notice the - .us
    old server address - mydomain.com/blackwidowarms/adminfolder/login.php? notice the .com

    If I type in the mydomain.us/blackwidowarms/adminfolder/login.php? it takes me to the login screen where I input the info and when I hit enter it takes me to the old mydomain.com/blackwidowarms/login.php? and tells me no go! Is this in the database? I notice that the main logo at the top of the page is still pointing to the old address, but I know where to change that....thanks for any help ahead of time!!!

    Help!

    Check the paths in admin/includes/configure.php.

    Wow, yeah those are all wrong.... so just point to the new address? I'm assuming to leave the mydomain stuff alone except for changing it to .us instead of .com .....???

    Correct. And don't forget the other config file:
    /includes/configure.php.

    Okay I got into the admin section now but where the logo sits it's still giving the old domain location. I've gone into both config files and checked to make sure those are not pointing there. Is there any place else, maybe a css file or something?????

    You can hover over the logo at blackwidowarms.com and it shows store.blackwidowarms.com........??????

    Is the rest of the site and links working ok? If it's just the logo, it could be in your includes/templates/stirling_grand/common/tpl_header.php

    So, the answer was both config files had to be edited and the extra links I'd added in my header and footer.... thanks guys for the help I really appreciate it!

    Thanks for posting back the final solution. It will help someone else with the same issue down the road. FYI, both config files *always* need edited.
