Need help with 'missing' pages

    I need some help!

    I recently tried to change my site URL, from http://microvetonline.co.za/wordpress/
    to
    http://microvetonline.co.za/

    I believe I screwed up something, so I tried and revert back to the old URL. Now I got my homepage back and my dashboard, but all pages now end up with 404 errors.

    This seems to be a problem with my links. So I looked for my .htaccess on my ftp and couldn’t find it. So I tried making my own.

    my .htaccess looks like this:
    ‘# BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress’

    But if I do this, I get this error for ALL my pages (incl my homepage and dashboard):
    HTTP Error 500
    IISPassword for Internet Information Services

    If I remove my .htaccess file, I once again have my dashboard and homepage back. But once again no other links work. Even if I try to directly type the page url into the address bar and I still sit with the 404 error.

    Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

    What exactly did you do when you tried to “move” your site?

    Hi there!

    Sorry for the delay in the reply. Was away for a few days.

    So here is what I did:
    I followed this guide: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    About halfway down with the “If you want your old blog to still work”, I followed the Part A instructions. At step 5, I realised there is a problem with the new site. I contacted the service provider, and they told me that they would get right on it.

    Regardless, When I tried to upload my old ‘unchanged’ database, I found that the database seems to be corrupted. I think it didn’t download properly.

    So then I sat with a site where I couldn’t even access my dashboard. So I found this tutorial to fix it:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsDg4qAgUPE

    So I completed this tutorial, and now I can access my homepage and my dashboard, but all my other pages give the problem stated above.

    I have changed my permalink settings several times, but I find that it doesn’t fix my problem.

    Any ideas?
