   Hi everyone,

   I recently moved my WP blog to a new server.

   http://www.sowetogospelfans.com

   For some reason, the site will not load the index.php file. It was initially directed to a subdirectory/wp-blog-header.php ... but when it wasn't working, I reinstalled WP from scratch into the root directory and the same 404 Not Found error shows up.

   Any ideas why this is? I've tried playing around with it, but with no avail. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

   Do you have a .htaccess anywhere? Delete that, if you have. Otherwise it's very hard to say why that could happen...
   Does that happen right from the start or after you activated a plugin or theme?

   I do not have a .htaccess. This happens at the very start--I haven't been able to access any WP related files since I moved to the new server.

   Have you tried logging in?

   If you CAN log in, go to Settings-permalinks and change the settings to standard mode. Before you do that, you should put 777 chmod to your wordpress folder (not files and subfolders but just the main folder).

   Maybe that works.

   Do you mean default? I have it currently set to Day and Name

   I have no problems accessing the admin side of the site...just whenever I click on the 'Visit the site'/site address...I get the above error.

   Yes, I mean default.
   Activate that and see what happens.

   I have same issue, in my case home page ( http://www.apnimarzi.com ) is opening, but i am not able to login to wp-admin and not able to see my post (404 error). i just migrated site from dreamhost to godaddy on IIS7, it might be some IIS7 issue.

   Now what if I am not able to login to wp-admin ? And solve this strange issue?
