Building Staging environment based on production website

I have just started a project to move our single BigTree website from an old version of Ubuntu to CENTOS7. I built the dev/staging CENTOS7 server and installed the BigTree database and website based on a copy from production.
The new staging server URL is https://staging.<domain>.org
The old Ubuntu production site is https://<domain>.org

The website comes up but I have these issues.
1. SSL Certificate errors. The application is pointing to URLs on the production site.
2. CMS Login. When I login to the CMS on staging, I am redirected to the production site.

I assume there is something in the database I need to manually update to use the new URL? Or, is there something else I need to do?
@Tim, I appreciate any advice you can offer.
I look forward to hear from you.

@Tim, I found the /conf/config.php file and updated it. This resolved most of my issues. If I need further help, I will let you know. Thanks for having this forum. It is really helpful for somebody like me who is brand new to BigTree!
