[resolved] moved servers, admin can't connect to DB (2 posts)

    Hi, I just had to move my blog to a new server. I copied the database and changed the file in the root of the site called wp-config.php with the new database connection info. The front end of the site works just fine but when I go to the wp-admin section for some reason I get forwarded to my old domain name, not the new one. I get an error page that says "Can’t select database", which makes sense since that database no longer exists on that server. I guess there is some other preference/config I need to change somewhere that has the domain URL for the blog set?

    I changed the site URL in the wp_options table and that fixed it... Nevermind.
