[support] Help with moved site.. Access denied.

[Roger]

I have experienced this problem on my home pc when changing between
ubuntu and Fedora 14 on different hard drives and dread having to do the
same on our server.

I don't know yet if it works on a remote server but in desperation on my
pc I zipped the whole ubuntu Drupal7 site, everything, drupal7, themes,
modules, everything, then zipped the database using mysqldump.

Zipping the drupal 7 site meant that I did not have to mess with module
and theme versions, settings for those, etc.

On the other hard drive I set up a database with the same username and
password and used mysqldump to install the drupal7 database, then
unzipped the whole drupal7 file into /var/www/html/ on the fedora 14
disk.

I checked that settings.php contained the same database name and
password as the database then opened firefox localhost/newdrupalsite and
it worked with no errors or faults.

To experiment I am about to zip the whole Drupal 6.19 server site and
the database then try the same process to install that on my home pc.

I have had no success with recommended methods which produce the same
error messages that you get. We are not able to check nor change
apache2.conf or httpd.conf on the server.
