 * i ended up keeping the site but relocating the database. I followed the sintructions
   to point the files to a new database with the dbname, login, pass and the correct
   prefixes but when users tried logging in they could see the first page but when
   they did anything else it would tell them they did not have suffecient permissions.
   what are some possible causes for this?

 * i just wanted to bump this to see if I could get any help. I exported the databases
   and imported them into a new database and changed the refferences in the wp-config.
   php file but now when people log into my blogs they get a problem with insuffecient
   permissions. which I dont understand, obviously the db is in tact since everything
   looks normal from the outside, I think the problem is coming form the database
   but i’m not sure where since i’ve checked them and they match up perfectly to
   the origionals, so any help would be pretty much amazing.

 * So, um, I’m not an expert in this but I moved mine recently, anyway — so you 
   moved your database to another server, but didn’t move the rest of your site?
   It sounds like the new server isn’t allowing the outside connections? Could be
   something with permissions your new server’s host could help fix.
 * Or could it just be your permalinks aren’t working, maybe rewrite the permalinks?
 * just trying to provide some ideas
