The reason I included the http:// is to make sure that there aren't www's left over. if you're find/replacing without the http://, you should replace <code>'dev.site.local/temp</code> with <code>'example.com</code> And yes, it's very important to make sure you have the same database prefix. @HSO -

WordPress by default uses wp_ as the prefix (in wp-config.php), but if your any reason you changed it, you should use that very prefix on the new install. Adam, correct me if I am off here.
