Hey guys:
I put up a drupal sample site on my computer running windows XP, the server environment of which is WAMP server (Apache and MySQL). Now I am migrating my sites over onto Linux environment where same Apache/MySQL are running. I had an attempt where:
-whole drupal database was drumped and then imported into one on Linux.
-All files from original sites copied to and overwrite ones under Linux.
The problems I'm getting are:
-.htaccess not writable, even though I made it mode 777.
-css folder not writable. I'm assuming this since system keeps warning about "css.... not properly configured", kinda message.
I also fixed some minor problems like editing default/setting.php and tried changing paths under file system configuration but none of these solved above problems.
Help is greatly appreciated. I know this idea is not that decent but I still want a solution to migrate the site rather than building it up again. Thanks.

problem with caching
the problem might be with caching. try to clear the cache admnister->performance under Bandwidth optimizations make Optimize CSS files: select Disabled click on save configuration.
do clear the cache administer->performance click on Clear cached data and click on save configuration.
finally chmod 777 your files folder under drupal root. use this command (chmod -R 777 files/)
make it simple will make your life easy........

help
Hi, I need to move my site as well (which modification you need for settings.ini and where is this file?).
I don't even know where to start, I just could dump the database and copy the files in the /var/www directory
but now when I try to access http://localhost is like if the page is loaded, but I get an empty page.
Any suggestion, link to a good tutorial or advice???
Thanks in advance, Cheers, -Luca
