moving to new web server, 404 issue (2 posts)

    I am moving my website to a new host. I tar'd my files, put them on the new server, then opened it all up and the file structure seemed great.

    I then dumped the existing db, pulled it over to the new server, and updated the necessary links on my wordpress installation so it knew the data was found.

    I went to the sub-domain and it looked like I was golden. http://abi.anitaborg.net.

    Problem: I click any links, for example http://abi.anitaborg.net/about/mission/ and I get a 404.

    This is where I get lost: I can log into the admin section of the site, I can update and create pages, etc. But what I cannot preview the pages by scrolling to the bottom of the page. They show up as 404.

    Any ideas on what might be going on? Apache issue? Theme issue? I took a look at my error log and there was nothing particularly helpful, just annotations of the fact that it can't find the pages I've called.

    It works using the ugly url. Is permalinks properly set up on the new server? Try updating the permalinks under your options panel. It might just have to rewrite the .hta file
