[BNM] Moving Wordpress to a new server and permalinks not working
Oliver Marshall
I've moved our wordpress install to a new server to do some prototyping on our new site (WOOP!). I've moved the wordpress directory to the new box, imported the entire DB, basically copied the wordpress instructions for migrating the install to a new server.
The front page works fine and all the plugins show as activated and show the correct settings. However none of the permalinks work. You should be able to go to /services and get the services page, /keepintouch for the contacts page etc. However all I get is an apache error stating that /services wasn't found. This also happens if you create a new page and assign it a new permalink.
Can anything think of what I may have missed?

File does not exist: /var/www/www.g2support.com/html/services
When accessing the /services permalink (and similar entries for other links). So it's trying to access the permalinks as actual dirs rather than translating it to the page ID in wordpress.
I have hayfever so none of this may make any sense or indeed be real.

Have you checked your .htaccess file?

section in settings to sort it out after a move

I've gone in to the permalinks settings and just hit save in each tab. No errors showing at all.
Still nothing :(

I don't know Wordpress but this is definitely a Apache config problem
not a problem with the Wordpress settings.
The problem is probably one of the following:
- .htaccess file is world writable (as Joe suggested)
- mod_rewrite isn't enabled.
Make sure you have the following lines in your apache conf file
(and they aren't commented):
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c
- htaccess files are disabled in the Apache conf.
Add the line "AllowOverride All" to the location section.
Regards,
Tom

Thomas wins the free pint of Kudos. It was the "AllowOverride All" remark
that got it. Teach me to go with the default settings!
Now on to the next dozen problems.
