OK, so early last year I set up a test site of my live site, password protected, etc and everything worked great...no problems.
Then I got sick and spent the last 14 months in and out of chemo. I am still recovering but am fine now and ready to get back to work.
My live site has gone on and also has things added to it that the test site did not. So, I downloaded my live site and uploaded it to the test site overwriting what was there. I also have a seperate database for the test site and put that info into the config file for the test site. Everything on the test site is fine except for when I go to the forums it goes to the live site, not the test site. Like I said the test site is fine except the forums link and a couple other things I added like invitations mod. And of course links that I added but I know that I just need to change the links for those. But I need my link to my forums to work.
I went into the admincp for the test site and changed the cookie path to /testvb/ and the forum url but no matter what I put there it won't work. On my live site it is http://www.site.com/forum So on the test site I put http://www.site.com/testvb/forum but it still goes to the live site when you click on the forum link. I have added /index.php, just testvb after the site name, I have tried everything to get it to work with no luck. Last year when I first set it up it was working fine. But I deleted the test site and made a new one with the files from the live site and now I can't get that forum link correct.
I need this to work so I can upgrade it to vb4 and test it before doing my live site. Can anyone give me any ideas what I might be missing?
I would appreciate any help offered...this is driving me up the wall!
Thanks,
Kimberly
