Since I'm upgrading to 5.1 from 4.7, I decided to switch servers. Dreamhost turned into Craphost, so I picked up an account at Textdrive.

Before I activate the switch I'm setting up a test site (with a copy of my current site) on a domain I'm not using. Once it's perfected, I'll point the DNS at the new server and it should be a seamless switch.

I ran the upgrade and it all seemed to be working properly. The site is up, though it needs some tweaking. Problem is, I get a 404 error when I click on anything. None of my pages work. I try to login and I get a 404 error.

Does this have to do with htaccess?

... check your .htaccess file, yes. Also, trying clearing your cache in your database and browser.

thanks...

I cleared the cache, but still only get 404 errors.
My test "switch/upgrade" site is at: http://indienewscast.com
the live site is at http://puddlegum.net

How should the htaccess be setup?

Got the site working...

Now I just need to get CCK to handle my content correctly.

Same 404 on all pages here after 4.7 -> 5.1 upgrade. Would really like to hear how you solved it... :)
