Moved XenForo to VPS, but it redirects to the old domain

[writetrendy]

Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing an issue that I've been unable to resolve on my own.

Here's my situation:I have a XenForo 2.3.7 site hosted on a shared plan with Hostinger. I recently purchased a VPS from them as well and successfully transferred a full backup of my site and its database to this new server.

My goal is to keep the original site and domain active on the old shared hosting. This is because moving the domain to the VPS would require me to delete the old site entirely, which I want to avoid as a safety net in case the new copy fails.

The Problem:After restoring the backup on the VPS, whenever I try to access the new server's URL, it automatically redirects me to the original domain, which is still live on the shared hosting plan.

What I've Tried So Far:

1. phpMyAdmin: I attempted to change the domain URL by editing the boardUrl value in the xf_option table, but I couldn't find a plain text value to modify.
2. SSH Commands: I also used ChatGPT to generate some SSH commands to make the necessary changes, but after executing them, the issue persisted.

The URL for the new site on the VPS is supposed to be xxxx, but it always redirects to the old, live domain.
I hope I've managed to explain the situation clearly. I would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions you might have.
Thank you.

1. Restore the backup to the new VPS server.
2. You must change the DNS Records A of your domain to the new IP of the VPS
3. Do the same if you are using tools like CPanel.
4. Wait a few hours for the DNS to update.
5. Access the XenForo admin, change the value: Setup -> Options -> Basic options -> Board URL
