Tried the recommendation on several threads. Here is the issue. The admin is working and updated the new DB fine. When you view the site from the frontend the product data, images, and links all point to the original site.

I Began by creating a new DB and importing a back up of the other Magento DB. The DB has a different name, the login and pw are different as well.

I modified the secure and unsecure URLs in the core_config_data table. I then installed a fresh copy of Magento (same version as my old site ver. 1.7.0.2).

I emptied the log tables which contained the old URL as well.

I looked at the local.xml file which had the correct settings.

Please keep in mind I have not added any source files from the old site. The olny thing that is from the old site is the DB.

Any other advice would be huge! Thanks in advance.

  • Can you post links to the threads you've already tried so we don't give you repeat advice? – miah Jul 31 '13 at 22:24
  • Unfortunately, I have followed several. I am new to the community and did not think to log my trouble shooting. Almost all threads suggested Changing permission on var folder, Renaming the core_config_data table, clearing the var/cache files, checking the local.xml file. I also purged the old URL from the log files just in case. Any suggestions as to what I may be over looking? – Michael Meehan Aug 01 '13 at 00:40
  • Was this one of the [threads](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6871159/magento-redirection-problem-after-moving) you looked at? If you've already fixed perms and updated your URLs in the database then I am at a bit of a loss. – miah Aug 01 '13 at 00:59
  • It is very hard to how the new installation knows about the old URL hen I have updated it prior to importing it? Basic facts: clean install no prior reference to the other URL AND the DB is supposedly updated properly. What else could Magento be looking at in the DB – Michael Meehan Aug 01 '13 at 01:21
  • Short of double checking each step, I am a total loss. – miah Aug 01 '13 at 15:18
  • Housekeeping. I never tracked down the issue. I simply uploaded a fresh install and imported the data. Thanks for your time. – Michael Meehan Jun 24 '14 at 19:31

I never could get to the bottom of it. I simply uploaded fresh install of Magento and imported the data and it worked.
