 * Hi all,
 * I’m having some trouble migrating my multisite to a new server.
 * I was able to export the database and import into the new database.
    I exported
   all the files (via Filezilla) and uploaded them in the new webspace.
 * Here are my issues:
 * #1) The main page of the main site is coming up ([http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com](http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com)),
   but none of the supporting pages will come up (such as the calendar, contact,
   support, etc). I am getting a 500 Internal Server Error
 * #2) When accessing the admin panel ([http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com/wp-admin](http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com/wp-admin)),
   the URL is redirecting to [http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com/PenfieldSportsBoosters/wp-admin](http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com/PenfieldSportsBoosters/wp-admin).
   The ‘PenfieldSportsBoosters’ was the directory the site was located in before
   I migrated it. I can’t find where the redirect is happening to remove it. However,
   if I type in [http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com/wp-admin/](http://penfieldboosterclub.dreamhosters.com/wp-admin/)(
   with the trailing “/”), then I am able to get in.
 * Can anyone help me with these two issues? I’m pretty new at finding my way around
   pHpMyAdmin but I know a little bit (just through messing around with this thing!)
 * Help!

 * I suspect the issue is related to the “WordPress Address(URL)” and/or the “Site
   Address(URL)” found in the settings -> general settings. You may need to update
   the links in the database directly. There is some information found in the codex
   that suggests manual edit of the database for multisite migration, although it
   may not apply to your specific situation.

 * Hi jc. Thanks. You were close. A multisite doesn’t have the same type of settings
   as a regular site – but you got me thinking. I checked the network settings and
   the old path ‘PenfieldSportsBoosters” was still set in the .htaccess file. Fixed
   it. Good to go.
 * It also addressed issue #1.
 * I’m still working some kinks out but this seems to have made a major difference.
 * Thanks!
