Thank vtzyzzy. The issue was the previous developer used a one click install to install WordPress on 1&1 and we did not have access to the db. So I had 1&1 give me a dump of the database so that I could recreate the same database on myside. I just need to know where to switch the db connection. Nothing was messed up and no users were lost since it was a replica of the existing db. Thanks again for the help.
