I've got a local wordpress database that I want to migrate to dreamhost.
Here's the steps that I'm taking:
1) FTP over my wordpress files
2) I do a mysqldump and import that data into my dreamhost wordpress database, after changing the database table prefixes in that sql dump file to the prefix in my wp-config file.
3) Then I goto my domain and get the install page. If I enter in the blog title and email, I get a different set of tables in my database.
Its like it wants to install new database tables instead of using the ones I just imported, so I end up with a new install instead of the version on my laptop.
What am I doing wrong ? I just want to move my tables from my machine to dreamhost, ftp the files over and be done with it :)
