    I’m moving my content from shared hosting (cpanel) to private server Ubuntu 12.04 LTS LAMP server.
    I moved my content & database successfully, but I can only see the home page/frontpage & few dashboard pages. I cannot see /wp-admin/network pages nor any dashboard pages related to multisite setup nor frintend pages/posts etc.

    I think the issue is related .htaccess & link structure. If I keep my old htaccess file I get 500 error.
    How to troubleshoot htaccess or link issues?
    Thankyou

    Sorry, since I posted it from mobile I couldnt write it in detail.
    It’s a wordpress multisite with subfolders & I followed same htacces code recommended by wordpress When I built the site (back in 2012 June) I suspect it was WP 3.4. Still I tested both codes.
    The website (link) is at nascent stage only 3 posts & 1 main blog.
    I now enabled mod-rewrite on my new apache2 server
    sudo a2enmod rewrite
    & set wp-dashboard permalink structure as /year/month/postname

    I’m sure it’s multisite issue, as I can browse around individual blog-posts, frontpage & dashboard. But all pages, multisite network, buddypress is showing 404 errors.

    PS: If I use recommended WP3.4 htaccess code The site give 500 error.
    If I use WP3.5 or later recommended htaccess code, the site atleast shows frontpage, posts & dashboard.
    (But inner pages & network doesnt work, give 404 error.)

    OK. The issue resolved.
    I had to correct my wp-config.php file where value of current_site was http://domain.com instead of simply domain.com.
    define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'domain.com' );

    removed http:// & now all pages/network is loading fine.
