I created a Drupal site in two different places - a subdomain on my hosting account, and on my local machine. It's finally ready to go live, so I uploaded the files to the new web server where it belongs. I uploaded the files via FTP, created the database, and then used a dump from my local PC to create the tables on the server. When I pull up the site (using the IP address and user id, i.e. http://12.12.12.12/~acctname), the main page comes up fine. When I hover over a link, such as to the contact page, it shows correctly in the status bar (http://12.12.12.12/~acctname). But when I click on any link, I get
http://12.12.12.12/~acctname/~acctname/~acctname/~acctname/~acctname/~acctna...
where the user id is duplicated 20 times. I called my host, and they say it's something internal. I have a hard time believing that, since it runs fine in two other places. Could something have happened in the move that screwed something up?
Thanks.
Steve
Steve,
I can't say for sure... but verify that the .htaccess file is in good shape. Or copy it over from scratch. That file can easily get messed up when moving, depending on a lot of variables.
Let us know,

What tables did you dump? Some just shouldn't be copied. Sessions, cache, cache_*; these can be truncated. You may need to look at the individual data in variables and system.
