Moving Wordpress site to new server/domain | getting asked to reinstall WP

I'm getting asked to reinstall Wordpress (standard 5 minute install) after moving a site to a new server and domain name.

http://kevineikenberry.com

Testing URL:

http://keg.brettatkin.com

I've checked the wp_config and the new db settings are correct and working - I set up a test page that pulls records from the db.

I've done must of the things listed in this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4367058/problems-with-moving-my-wordpress-site-to-another-domain-server) such as running a couple of queries to update the domain name.

One additional thing I did do was change the table extension to something other than wp_

Any help would be awesome. I'm at a loss and must be missing something stupid.

Thanks

Brett

You have changed the table prefix, that means you have different tables and your wp-config settings will not work, if you have changed your tables prefix also update it in wp-config file, save and check it again.

you chanced the prefix of your tables, if you do this there are DB record which need to be changed, also you have to change it in config.php

take a look at this:
