 * I have a test site. miltonsbells.developersandbox.net
    Every time we try to migrate
   it to both the existing domain and our own it is breaking. If there is any information
   that you can help me out with I would be most grateful. This is the error I’m
   getting.
 * Not Found
    The requested URL /cgi-bin/php-cgi/index.php was not found on this
   server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * Now, this site doesn’t actually have a cgi-bin file in the original file tree.

 * Are you moving wordpress from subdomain to same domain name or some other domain
   name.

 * I should have been more specific. We did end up getting it to work. It was hosts
   that we were migrating it between. I’m a bit of a newb but I’m figuring it out.
   When we ftpd the files out of the original server we weren’t getting them all
   because of the way they have their server configured. (had to be in active mode)
   We found that if we did the transfer in the morning it worked and when we migrated
   the site to the customers server it also worked. We just weren’t getting all 
   of the files.
    Thank you for replying though gov. Eric
