   I am trying to copy an existing install at http://www.website.com/ to http://en.website.com/. I intend to do this using a single database.

   I created the subdomain en.website.com and it shows up in my FTP client.

   I then proceeded to copy all of the files from the root (original install) into the en.website.com subdomain folder and changed the wp-config.php database prefix from $table_prefix = 'wp_'; to $table_prefix = 'en_';

   I then went to http://en.website.com/wp-admin/install.php and now I can see the dashboard. However, the dashboard is essentially bare and gives me no menu to edit anything other than my profile.

   Where have I gone wrong?

   Thank you in advance.
   Michael

   Did the install program create a new set of database tables with prefix en_

   Yes, after checking with phpMyAdmin, I've confirmed that it has created a new set of tables within the same database with prefix en_.

   I'm not sure I understand. If that is the case, how can I make sure that I am logging in as an admin?
