Description of my issue:
My production and test site are both on Site5 VPS server.
I backed up from production and was trying to restore on test. The whole process went smooth except one thing was different from before - when I got to the Restroation of site's main database screen, there was no popbox asking me whether should keep the data. So I filled up all the fields from Database Type to Database table name prefix with my database info of my 'TEST' site.
All looked good until I checked the 'configuration.php' file. There, there database info (db name, db user, password) is still the production's, NOT the 'Test' that I filled.
This was the 2nd time I encountered this issue. It took me quick a while the first time I had this issue - I made changes to the test, but the changes requested on the production right away which was very bad. Good thing was I have daily back for every site. But this bug should be fixed up.
I ran the restoration from Win7+ IE10. The restoration of site's main database screen is not displayed well especially the DB table name prefix field. Since the entered 'prefix' characters are aligned bottom, the underscore (_) is hidden. A little CSS work need to be done with it.
Thanks,
