I have issues getting file attachments as well as images and absolute links to work properly when moving a Drupal site. It appears that system/file is stored with settings property per node in the database, rather than replaced when node is being displayed. After looking through the forums I wasn't able to find any postings about how to fix this issue. I believe this is only a problem when using Drupal's private downloads, rather than the public downloads setting.
This would be a very useful addition to documentation if someone could figure out how to move a site.

Quoting Albert Cuesta acuesta@gmail.com:
As part of a Drupal 5.x to 6.x upgrade, I have moved my Drupal site
to
a folder below the HTML root level of my server, so now it's at public_html/drupal6 instead of public_html as before.
Is there a reason why you can't update the httpd.conf for the site so that the DocumentRoot is public_html/drupal6 instead of public_html?
Now the site stopped working beyond the front page: users can login but cannot logout, all links display an unthemed front page, and so
on
Can somebody explain the required configuration of .htaccess (for the domain root and the drupal6 folder) and settings.php so the site
works
again? I think I have already tried everything in the handbook and readme :-(
Cache tables, sessions table probably need to be truncated. Browser caches may need to be emptied as well. Did you change the RewriteBase in the .htaccess file?
