I have been building my Druapl 6.3 site on domain1.com. I am now ready to move it over to domain2.com to go live but am having difficulty.

Let me run through the details.

1. Copied the entire folder from domain1/site/test to my hard drive.
2. Backed up all the tables in MYSQL 1
3. Uploaded all files to domain2/main
4. Imported all tables dumped from MYSQL 1 to MYSQL 2
5. Changed domain2/main/sites/default/settings.php to reflect MYSQL details.

I simply get a 500 error.

Please can somebody point out what I am missing?

Hi,
What's main in your pathes?
I would do it in that way:

htdocs/drupal/sites/default/settings.php

and the Domain must linked with .../drupal

Cheers

On domain 1 the site was held in the following location: domain1/site/test/DRUPAL FILES HERE
On domain 2 the site will be held in: domain2/main/DRUPAL FILES HERE

Surely this shouldn't cause a problem?

Good point, that helped.

I will update once/if I get it working. The error log did point me in the right direction, thanks.

Ok, well it seems to have worked on the whole however.....

Every time I change a setting in admin, instead of reloading the admin page I get a white screen. Frustrating.

Ok all systems are go.

I came across quite a few unexpected problems with the transfer, mainly with .htaccess, php.ini and php.fcgi files.

Luckily I have a fantastic host provider who helped me a LOT in ironing out these issues and now the site is running.
