Database issue - cannot login to WP after database url change

I tried to ready my wordstress site for live server by changing site url.
Although My database reflects the new url under the "options" table, I cannot login any more.
I've also checked the user login to make sure.


I'm afraid to progress because I don't want to break it...
Any advice?

Try the config file?


Also the URL is written 2 times in the Options table- change both

Hi Steve,

It's so weird - if I copy the password directly from db into login field it claims that it's incorrect.

I did that thanks.
I think the problem was a trailing slash.
So for the moment I'm back in but it is apparently impossible to move a site to a live server.
