We changed our host and moved our website and DB to the new machine, I modified the webcconfig doc to update the umbracoDSN - while the site sees the correct DB, the admin site will only see the old server. I've looked around in the code and can not find another place to update the DSN. Anyone have any idea.
Are you accessing the admin site from a different domain (such as admin.yourdomain.com/umbraco/umbraco.aspx)? It could be that the DNS hasn't been changed on that and is still pointing at the old hosting space, hence the old data being shown.
Failing that, is the site load-balanced using file replication? If that's the case then the updated web.config may not have changed on all servers and somewhere along the line the admin system is picking up the old connection string.
no, both share the same domain so it not a DNS issue. The weird part is the front side application is seeig the correct DB which is all coming out of Umbraco, just the admin side of things is seeing the old data
ok, Finally fixed it. Did some research into the data and the transfered DB looks like it dropped a dozen records in 1 table (nodes table) and the keys got all crapped up. I reimported the DB, flushed the app pool and republished the whole site and it is working again. Ben, thanks for all your efforts
Changed Server but Umbraco still sees old data
