Migration Failure

I’m trying to move my company’s WordPress site to a new server.
After copying, the front page loads fine, but all links to other pages are broken
with this error page. I’m a half-baked developer, learning php and apache, please help!

Not Found
The requested URL /pagename/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at 104…. Port 80

Here’s what I’ve tried – all of this results in the same site that loads the front page but has broken links:
-Fresh WP install and copy entire wp-content folder. So far so good.
-Imported xml data. Error message “failed.”
-Importing database after running search and replace on every instance of the url. I tried using Database Search and Replace Script in PHP from interconnect/it to be sure the replace worked despite any serialization. Links still broken.
-Copied over .htaccess file
-Defining the site address url and wordpress address url through wp-config.php
-Fiddled with permalink settings from dashboard

My thought’s at this point. Could WordPress be attempting to change the links based on permalink settings? Could a plugin license (Woocommerce) affect my site?
