I was hoping someone would be able to shed some light on this. I went through the information on the EE site with regards to moving from local to live site eg.http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Moving_from_Development_Server_to_Live_Server
First of all when I try to go to the URL the Admin area was unstyled so I added a line of code to the config file which allowed me to point to the correct URL. First hurdled jumped.
The next one was a lot more frustrating. I tried logging it but it said my details were incorrect. I though that if the database, all files were the same and permissions set up correctly this would work straight away. I actually had to do a ‘Forgot your password’ just to get new details.
My local dev was mysite.com:8888/ and teh live site mysite.com/
Any information much welcome as it took me almost 2 hours to sort this out. (It was my first local to live ee install 😊)
