Full Version: "Backup" Problem

Ok so I wanted to copy my forum over to another site (mainly to change the URL) so here is what I did:

1. Imported my database.
2. Copied all the MyBB files via FTP to my hard drive then uploaded them to the other FTP site (I did this instead of a clean installation because I have TONS of plugins that I don't want to have to re-install).
3. Edited the /inc/config.php file and changed the database settings.
4. In phpMyAdmin I edited the values of the main settings like forum url, home url, cookie path, ect.

Now the only problem I have is when I try to login it says it logged in but then once I am redirected I'm not logged in any more.
Also when I try to log into the Admin CP (just by going to the URL) I am logged in but then when I click something it kicks me back out and asks me to log in again.

HELP!
Changing things in the database won't do anything as the forum doesn't directly use the database, edit ./inc/settings.php and then make the changes again in the ACP.
Alright let me try this.
Oh it works, thanks so much!
