  3. Database crossover -- new install is accessing the database of OLD install

Having had some difficulty with my first install, I decided to try a fresh install in an adjacent directory.

I created a new database, albeit with the same user. I was careful to use the credentials of the new database for the new install.

However, I noticed that the backend of the new system is accessing the database of the old system -- the old admin email address, and a reference to failed (404) attempts to access /backend.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

Update 1

After re-boot, I logged into /backend and got:

SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'OctoberTEST01.system_settings' doesn't exist (SQL: select * from system_settings where item = backend_brand_settings limit 1)

Not surprising if it's now looking at the right database, given that the config went into the old database previously.

Maybe some indication of the problem here...?: mysql_error

The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect() is assumed.
