I agree with everything Larry and others said here.<br><br>One more thing to check after you copied the files to the new server is ownership and permissions. <br><br>You want the files to be readable for the user that the web server runs under (www-data or nobody on most VPS or dedicated servers). Preferably, they would be owned by someone else, to make things more secure (web server can't write to modules for example).<br>
<br>You also want the sites/*/files to be the only writable directory in Drupal for the web server user.<br><br>Having permissions or ownership messed up can cause you some mysterious errors until you get them fixed.<br><br>
If your server runs under suexec or some other scheme, you have to make the owner for everything be the current user.<br>-- <br>Khalid M. Baheyeldin<br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a>, Inc.<br><a href="http://2bits.com">http://2bits.com</a><br>
