Cloned wordpress blog wp-admin login issue

  • Hello Everybody!

    I inherited a WordPress site at work and wanted to make a clone for development purposes. The site was running on a VM so I just cloned the VM and changed the server hostname/IP. Now the dev site, lets call it blah-dev, is up and running. I can access it using localhost or blah-dev however if I try to login to blah-dev/wp-admin I get sent to the original production login page (blah/wp-login). This is also the case for any links I have on the main dev page, they all take me to the production page.

    My question is how can I make it so I can login to my WP admin console at blah-dev/wp-admin? I read some articles on migrating WP blogs but not sure what pertains to this and what does not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.

    lol, nm I didn’t get it..

    I found wp-options in phpmyadmin, I changed the siteurl to my dev page, blah-dev and was able to login via blah-dev/wp-admin.

    From the looks of things I believed I was in my actual dev environment so I attempted to update wordpress (the reason for the dev site in the first place, I had previously updated php beforehand). The update succeeded but the admin panel still showed old wordpress. Huh. So I checked the production site and wouldn’t you know it, it’s currently down. Displaying an error on the page “Your server is running PHP version 5.1.6 but WordPress 3.2.1 requires at least 5.2.4.” and nothing else.

    Soo I just screwed my production site.. After some research I guess I should have created a new DB for my dev server but I didn’t and now I’m in trouble. Does anybody know how I can revert this change back to the original or do I now need to update php to utilize the new WP?

    BTW this is a multi site blog and none of the other sites were effected, just my main production page..

    Please post in the Multisite forum.
