Moving servers – changing Network Admin link

  • So, I’ve never dealt with a Multi-Site WordPress installation before, but I was brought aboard a company that needed me to the WordPress installation between webhosts. I pulled that off fairly easily; moved all the files over and updated all the domain links A records and domain mapping in the new server / the registrar, and everything worked exactly as it should.

    Except today, I realized – when I click on “Network Admin’s” Dashboard or any link – it heads right back to the last webhosts Network Admin page. I don’t know how the webhost set it up – all I know is the domain it’s posting to; I don’t own (even though I owned all the domains for each multi-site blog, conveniently).

    It seems, I can’t even get to the network admin by manually linking to it:
    domain.com/admin/network/index.php
    sends me right off to the old webhosts domain and their domain network admin.

    I can’t believe I never noticed until now – but it’s a pretty silly oversight on my part – and now I can’t find any references to that old webhost to change to my new one. I’m guessing it’s in the database somewhere? I also couldn’t find any proper procedures for handling this type of situation so here I am :P.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    So, I was able to dump the database and replace the old “base” url with the new “base” url. 6900 replacements it made – dang.

    The problem after that was:
    newdomain.com/blogname didn’t redirect to the proper blog (or corresponding files), it just 404ed.

    olddomain.com/blogname heads off to the correct blog – but again, on the wrong webhost.

    I’ve checked the .htaccess file, I’ve checked the wp-config.php file. Everything, looks correct.

    What am I missing here?

    Thanks, in advance, to any help anyone can give me.
