   Hi,

   I needed to move a site I have completed to it's new domain. It is hosted, unfortunately, on a windows server but has MySQL. I folloed the steps at this link: http://yoast.com/move-wordpress-blog-domain-10-steps/

   All seemed to go well. The Main home page loaded fine but none of the links work - all I get is an error: 'The system cannot find the file specified.'

   The actual URL's are fine - there are no extra /'s or .'s - it is driving me crazy. The site is currently using a placeholder index page so the public cant see the problems but can give someone access if they are able to help.

   Any help would be great,

   Thanks.

   One thing I have noted is that if I change the default home page to any of the pages I have set up, it shows those pages. However, if you try and use their direct URL I get the error message.

   It sounds like a permalinks problem. If your site is on a IIS server, check out:

   Added: A quick way to determine if it is a permalinks problem is if the default permalinks work but pretty permalinks don't.

   Ok - just tested and default works so it must be a pretty permalinks issue. Am going to have to get onto the host as I don't think I have that much access.

   You are a champion iridiax!
