I want to use a 1.8.5 MyBB database for another, new 1.8.5 MyBB forum.
So I have the database from the first site and I've imported it via PHPmyAdmin into the database for the second site.
Next, I uploaded the 1.8.5 files into the new domain name's folder and changed the database details in the inc/config.php files - database user, database name and password.
When I go the website, the page is blank, so I am missing a value somewhere? Are there other paths somewhere else that I need to change?
Ideas, please?
Is there another files with paths, etc.? that I have to change?
Did you login in AdminCP and then changed the database details also in Configuration(settings)-> Site Details (don't forget to save!!).

Here's the problem:
When I use the same database from site A to site B, I can't login to site B - the admin screen is blank.
If those values in Configuration> Settings via the Admin panel can't be changed through a file edit via FTP or PHPmyAdmin, that poses a problem.
By the way, thanks for all of you help with my various issues!

Where did you get the idea that configuration settings and settings, in general, can't be edited through phpmyadmin? Of course they can be edited. Otherwise, where would they be stored? You've looked at the
mybb_settings table, right?
Do your php error logs say anything?
Also double check to make sure all files were uploaded correctly because sometimes FTP fails to upload 100% of files.
If the
forum domain changed you will have to edit cookie settings also.

I didn't write that it can't be edited, I wrote if. At any rate, your suggestion above solved the problem, so
THANK YOU 
I've learned something new that I can share.
The only problem that I have to now solve is that the front page of the site is off, like it needs the cache to be rebuilt or something....I can log into the admin panel, but when I click any link, it logs me right out.
Ideas?
This link will help you with login / log out "cookie" issues:

In short, if you changed domains, your cookie settings will need to be changed. Clear cookies and try to log back in.
Helped immensely - thanks!
