after moving site wordpress wants to do fresh install

[leooo]

Hi there,
i just followed the instructions on how to move the website. im also on dreamhost, so should be all the same. But as soon as I exchange the mysql data base the wordpress installation thinks its new and wants to set itself up again.
the website i try to set up is on theschnitt.de
i already took off the site from before (because i only have standart hosting) but backuped everything like said.

now i successfully changed also the config.php and the website is available. but the admin panel is not accessible.
it only shows this message. any hint?

Dear @leooo
in Dreamhost you can use the 1-Click install to get Wordpress running.
Is this what you did?

Best!

@mariusjopen Yes I did with one click. , but now I think I will try to copy it kind of manually. Always when I tried to copy the database it messes it up

Dear @leooo
if you want to copy your local version to your web-server I recommend the plugin UpDraftPlus.
it will do all the work for you.

Best!

@mariusjopen
hey hey, found the solution in the end:
i had to deactivate this in the dreamhost domain settings:

then everything was accessible again, even the activated license of my old installation that i forgot to deactivate and couldnt anymore because i closed the old domain.
