Hello
I'm trying to migrate a drupal 6.2 web site project from a laptop to a pc
I've made a backup of my website project on laptop i.e
- a copy of website directory
- plus a database backup made using phpmyadmin

transferred the website directory to the pc and restored successfully the database.sql backup using again phpmyadmin

I get the front page of the website , but clicking on any links I get a "404 Not Found", and a

"
Not Found

The requested URL /drupal-6.2/node/9 was not found on this server."

anyone got the same problem
any ideas of how troubleshoot this ?

thanks

Looks like that on your main PC, perhaps drupal is not installed at http://hostname/drupal-6.2? Have you hard-coded the $base_url setting in settings.php to include 'drupal-6.2'?

Alternatively, maybe clean URLs aren't working. Can you access http://hostname/drupal-6.2/?q=node/9 ?

Thanks for replying :)

I just remembered that I've made changes onto httpd.conf file
on
"ServerName"
and the "allowOverride All" terms.

this is something that should be added on docs and howtos

now it's working fine

Hello
now I have access to drupal admin website, but i've noticed that the custom themes and modules I've added not visible in the modules and themes admin section on the website.

giving write access to those modules and themes in
/sites/all/modules/ and /sites/all/themes/ folders gives nothing

thanks

Make sure that the process running PHP has *read* access to the modules/themes. Write access should not be needed.
