I would value any suggestions / help available regarding a weird problem I'm having with an EE migration.
Trying to create a clone of an existing site (that works just fine) to do some development to the site templates.
I've set up a clean build of EE 2.10.1 on the development server, and it works just fine.
I've moved all the ancillary files associated with the existing site (e.g. Templates, Add-ons etc.) to the development server, and they are all visible and / or in the right place. But I've retained the (working) config.php and database.php files from the initial setup of the new machine.
I've exported the MySQL of existing site using phpmyadmin - a process I've used before and works fine.
I edit the MySQL dump to remove table relating to CECache (which points to cache entries I did not migrate across).
I've imported the exported MySQL tables into the MySQL of the newly created server.
I try to log into the CP and get no further than the login screen looping back after each attempt.
I've had a look and it appeared that the 'new' site was trying to load some assets from the old site - presumably due to settings in the imported MySQL (as config.php and database.php remain unchanged and relate only to new site).
So I reload the original database for new site, and check it works as before.
I edit the MySQL dump to change all references in there to the old site (or the old file path) to the new site URL / site path.
I try importing the edited MySQL to the new site database, and try to log in, and get same error as before - but this time the new site is not trying to load assets from the old site.
All the fixes I can find for this assume / suggest it is a problem with settings in the config.php file. But in this case, as I have a working config.php, the error must be something that is introduced via the MySQL import - not sure what though.
Anyone with any ideas? Would value any / all suggestions about how to fix.
Thanks!
