Logging in to the copy of the WordPress site

I've created a developer copy of an existing WordPress-based website, to test something safely.

I updated the wp-config.php file to include info on the new database, database user, etc. (the exact copy of the original database, but renamed).

When I log in to wp-admin, however, I'm being automatically redirected to the login to the login page for the original website. What should I edit to be able to log in into the copy site?

You may log in to mysql database via phpadmin. Then goto WP_options table and change the site url

Try adding/editing this in your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Another thought is to edit the wp_options table in the development database. Locate the option_name column and browse for siteurl and home and update their values accordingly.
