I am moving a Drupal site to a new hosting company. I have not yet moved DNS to this host. I can load the home page of the site via:

http://ip-address/~accountid/subdirectory/

However when I click on any links or try to get into my admin account via /?q=user/login, I get the login page but when I enter my id and password, I get a 404.

I have truncated the cache, history, sessions and watchdog tables. I have cleared the cache in my browser and deleted cookies.

In settings.php I have the base url configured as:
$base_url = 'http://ipaddress/~accountid/subdirectory';

Yesterday I successfully migrated a different Drupal installation to this new hosting company and am not having this problem. The only difference is that this successful installation is that it is Drupal 5.1 and the one I am having the problem with is 4.7.

Any clues on what I am doing wrong on this migration?

OK. I didn't know about that. I changed RewriteBase to:

RewriteBase /~accountid/subdirectory

That did it.

Thanks for your help.
