wp-config database duplication site copy

Hey everyone, I am a bit stuck here.

I wanted to copy a site to another domain to make a few changes to it and have a new url.

i setup the new url and installed wordpress. opened wp-config to find out what database it was.

I exported the old database and imported it to the database listed in the new site’s wp-config file

then i used ftp to download all the old site files and then uploaded them to the new site

I assumed this would make everything work but now when i go to the new site I just get the sample wordpress page.

Any idea where i went wrong?

Thanks so much guys for all of your support and insight.
