I'm working on 2 stores, one is under the main domain: mysite.com and the other one is under test.mysite.com.

Now, both domains are directed to a different folder where a fresh OC is fully intalled. Here's the problem: when i uploaded OC to the one of the domains (mysite.com), the OC i had installed on test.mysite.com got overrided and looked exactly the same as the new installation, so pretty much i lost all the work i had on the "test" subdomain. How can this have happened? i made sure both OC installs were on different folders, and one is on the main domain and the other one on the subdomain.

What am i missing here?

Have you checked the config.php & admin/config.php to make sure they are not pointing to the same site?

both config files are pointing to different domains (domain and subdomain), any other suggestion?

can someone guide me through this?
