Forum Forum move testing problems
 

Hi

I have a forum on a VPS and am looking to move it (I have root access to both servers)

The forum is 4.1.2 and working fine

I have my new VPS and done a cpbackup and restore on the new server to check it all runs ok

New forum is only accessible by IP and locked by a password, all that works fine

Now i have ediited my etc/hosts file on my mac for my new IP address so i can see the new server in a browser

The server is on an IP address at present and the domain (DNS) are pointing to the old server (still current and working)

When i go to the new server home directory for the forum I get forwarded to install/install.php - which obviously isnt there ?

Why am i getting forwarded to install.php and is there something I need to edit so i can see the forum on the new VPS and check it before i do the move ?
