Description of my issue:
I'm getting ready to upgrade a 2.5 website up to 3. The last time I tried to do everything went pear-shaped. So this time I decided to use Akeeba to basically clone the website and drop it into a test domain where I can do all my testing. Obviously if it all goes wrong it's only a test website and I can start from first without interfering with the genuine website.
Now I am with site ground and am using the Go Geek hosting plan. So this is what I did. I created a sub domain under my primary domain name. So the path to the test website would be www.tetraplegicliving.com/test. So I made a backup of the website and then installed it into "test". The website looks fine, but I couldn't login. Now don't know what I've done, but I've also managed to lock myself out of the original website, Oscarfishlover.com, the one I was making the clone of. I wonder if it's got something to do with the configuration.php file. The websites are showing fine so it's got nothing to do with the database. But it's not only me who cannot log into the front or back end, it seems that my members are not able to login either. I spent quite a long time changing my password via the database but it's not made the slightest bit of difference.
