Setup OSC on new server- links to old server during configuration of system

[theonlycore4]

Hello.

 

I have a unique problem. My client's OSC installation has been taken hostage by a disgruntled developer. My client has asked me to move the store to a new server, and I've begun that process only to discover a few issues. Anyone who can offer a hand, I'd appreciate it.

 

Issue #1: Database backup through admin has been disabled by Disgruntled Dev. Is there an alternative method to pull a database backup?

 

Issue #2: I'm currently accessing the new OSC installation (on the new host) via IP address, but set the store up via Fantastico and the domain name www.purefit.com. Whenever I click on ANY link in the admin tools, it ports me to the old site. Example, I'll go to the main admin access page at: http://790.847.901.22/~domainname/store/admin/ and will click "backup" which will take me to: http://www.domainname.com/store/admin/backup.php?... This happens for every link, and it then applies changes to the old site, which I can't do, as that site is live. Is there a way to set up my osc site without the files jumping to the old domain?

 

Question #3: Is there any straight-forward and simple way to move this osc cart to the new server? I've managed to pull all the files painstakingly through the "File Manager" in osc, so I essentially have a full backup of the cart (sans the db), even though I don't have ftp or other server access.

 

Obviously, this is a strange situation to be in, and we just need to get the cart replicated on a new server so we can ditch this psycho developer.

1. You can backup the database via phpmyadmin or whatever tool is available in your hosting control panel.
