Thanks Jamie. Will be going to a drupal meetup tonite to try further. Replaced the .htaccess. <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 3:11 PM, Jamie Holly <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:hovercrafter@earthlink.net" target="_blank">hovercrafter@earthlink.net</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

    I would first check to see if you can access anything without clean
    urls (ie: <a href="http://example.com/index.php?q=user" target="_blank">http://example.com/index.php?q=user</a>). If you can, then
    replace your .htaccess with a clean one from Drupal. Drupal 7 is
    here:<br>
    <br>
    <a href="http://drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git/blob_plain/30d1e719aa5e9a9ad66514078ca3b0975ddadc9c:/.htaccess" target="_blank">http://drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git/blob_plain/30d1e719aa5e9a9ad66514078ca3b0975ddadc9c:/.htaccess</a><br>

    <br>
    Drupal usually stores your images relative. You can check the file
    system settings in admin &gt; configuration &gt; media &gt; file
    system. If you inserted them into nodes and that with absolute URLs
    then you&#39;ll either have to search and replace all the body and
    summary fields in MySQL or setup an .htaccess to direct back to the
    new folder. I would attempt the MySQL first though to help with
    server performance. <br><div class="im">
