 * I tried to set up a test server to play around with the design of wordpress. 
   I installed the newest version and then followed the wp-admin/install.php and
   used the wp-config.php file from my live site.
 * My old site now has template files showing from the test site, but still using
   the database??
 * How do I connect the server with the old site design??
 * Please help
