By "any other page", do you mean you are going directly to those pages or are you using links from the index page? I've moved a bunch of sites to subdirectories after testing and because of caching the links lead to the old directory structure, where obviously, the files no longer exist.

Clearing the cache does the trick, in this case.

Hmm, odd then. So what happens when you go to:

http://www.yoursite.com/thatnewdirectory/admin

If you're going straight to the admin page (in your new directory of course) and getting 'page not found' I wonder if all the files copied over correctly.

EDIT: and this is assuming you're not using a Virtual Host in apache that points to the new directory.
