Hi,
I had installed Drupal on a IIS server, I then asked for it to be moved to a LAMP server.
The website appears as it should, however when I click on 'administer', 'create content' etc.. it simply reloads the index page (interestingly if I click on menu items that lead to taxonomy terms it works and calls up the respective page for each term).
The same happens if I click on 'home', it will merely reload index.php
Another thing I noticed is that if I call up the url of the domain, I am forwarded to index.php (I don't remember this appearing before on the IIS server but I could be mistaken).
Has anyone come across something similar?

something else I just noticed:
If I click on 'create content' it merely reloads index.php
But if I past the url for story creation into the address bar then it takes me to the 'story' creation page for example.
i never use IIS, so i'm not
i never use IIS, so i'm not sure what differences there are in the installation process, but here are a few thoughts off the top of my head...
i'd start by clearing cache.
i assume you haven't tried to enable Clean URLs yet. make sure those are turned off at http://example.com/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls
moving from IIS, i assume you haven't touched your .htaccess file yet? that may need some tweaking, depending on your installation.
Thank you for your help, it
Thank you for your help, it turns out some file were corrupted during FTP upload. All working normally now.
I have unfortunately
I have unfortunately discovered a new issue that does not appear to make sense to me.
Background:
As you may have read already, I was working on developing a site for a small project, this was originally hosted on a Windows IIS server. I asked for it to be moved to a LAMP server. At first I was having some issues, but after a reinstallation of Drupal on the LAMP server all was well.
Issue:
I now proceeded to install the following modules: views, location and gmap.
However something very strange is happening:
After I enable any of these modules, and press 'save configuration' a blank page loads where ?q=admin/build/modules/list/confirm should be.
If I refresh the page the blank pages remains, if I try to revisit the link I get an error like this:
Now if I rename any folder name and hit refresh Drupal will load up again with out errors however in some cases my changes will not have taken effect. In other words, if I had previously tried to enable a module, it will still be disables, or if I tried to disable a module it will still be enabled.
These issues are driving me up the wall and I have no idea what the problem could be. I am not new to Drupal and have used it without any problems at all on my own private hosted site.
Please, please, if anyone knowledgeable has any idea what the problem could be, let me know.
Thanks very much.

The problem is simple, you don't have enough memory available to PHP, this is a common problem when memory limits are left at default PHP settings.
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted (tried to allocate Y bytes)...

Could you please tell me
Could you please tell me what I need to tell the server admin to do? What should the memory limit be?

The more modules you install the more memory you will need. Right hnow its set at 8, I'd ask for 16 - 24 and if the error comes up again, I'd ask for more. Keep in mind there are many shared hosts who won't allow you to do this.

Man thank you so much! I
Man thank you so much!
I followed the link you posted and edited my settings.php file to increase the memory to 12MB. It seems to be working, the errors have gone away and I can add and edit modules and changes are taking effect. I have been dealing with this issue for so long.
You rock man :)
