I just moved my site off of the development side of my domain to the proper place for it and now I am in a world of hurt. I backed everything up before I moved it over, reuploaded to the new place and now nothing is there except a fresh drupal. All my modules are there and my theme but not the content. At least on the front end site. I can see it when I am looking at the database through my FTP client. I really don't want to rebuild it from scratch cause it took me so long! How can I make it work, I mean I can see ALL the files from the dev side on the new part i just don't know how to go find it. Even on the dev side it's all broken and I can only see the page. All the links are broken so I can't even take the lazy way out and reference the new site to those! How can I fix it without starting from scratch!?

After reading this again I
After reading this again I think i might have been a little confusing. Basically what i did was move my site from www.mydomain.com/drupaladmin down to www.mydomain.com. I am sooooo used to working with HTML that I thought for some reason that all the nodes would be easily access able to move down the step and their not. Now when I try and access the old nodes direct I get the:
"Page not found
The requested page could not be found."
Did you move the database?
Did you move the database? You cannot see the database via FTP. Do you mean you have the .SQL file moved? that will not do anything.

Can you use dirty urls to navigate?
if so, navigate to the admin UI
disable clean urls
clear cache
reenable clean urls
Tried that
And it still didn't work. I'm probably just going to have to rebuild the whole darn thing. :(

you shoudln't have to rebuild the whole thing. I've helped others with this issue in the past and they are documented as forum posts.
If you remove the .htaccess file from your installation what happens?
if you replace it with a fresh one from a new drupal download what happens?
I deleted it
And now it's giving me page not found errors direct from the sql it looks like. I am trying to get a fresh one to upload now...

when you moved the site, did you change servers or something ?
you used the word, "basically"
What did you "specifically" do when moving the site?
a step by step from you would help here.
No same server
BUT, I went in to my Godaddy control and reconfigured the drupal to be on the mydomain.com instead of mydomain.com/drupaladmin. I am wondering if I got two drupals installed on the same server. Is that possible?

yes, sounds like you were using a 3rd party installer and and have screwed the pooch by trying to move an installation using an installer.
It is my advice to advice 3rd party installers for a multitude of reasons. They are great for allowing you to test scripts. Once you've made your decision. You should install that script on your own and avoid using a host panel installer.
