Yikes...I need some help please. I moved my 'beta' version of my drupal install to my root directory by simply copying the entire file and folder structure from the beta directory to the root. I then changed the settings.php file to reflect this change in location and everything comes up fine and seems to navigate fine, BUT when I try to edit or add content, when I push the submit OR preview button, it does a Google web search and then returns this URL: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/org/w3c/dom/Node.html

What can I do to get my Drupal install to function properly in it's new location?

Thank you.

Not being a web dev kind of guy I panicked, but it turned out that permissions needed to be tweaked after transferring teh files.

I wish you had elaborated. I've run into this exact same problem preparing to migrate from drupal 4.6 to 4.7
I also tried changing my theme and it forwarded me to: http://www.samag.com/

what i didnt understand was permissions: permissions where? file permissions? drupal permissions? .htaccess?

ok, in the process of writing this... I was debugging in the background and figured out what was wrong with my setup. In my settings.php file (in sites directory) -- I had added a "slash" at the end of my temporary site I was using for an upgrade.

incorrect:

$base_url = 'http://drupal47.mysite.com/';

corrected (by removing trailing slash):

$base_url = 'http://drupal47.mysite.com';

This fix is not working for me on one 4.7.3 site I am running.

I have discovered a ton of spam comments that were unapproved. I installed the SPAM.MODULE to remove/filter them. Doing mass deletes of those comments occasionally sends me to SAMAG.com. The first attempt to delete a page of filtered comments works. Any other attempt to mass DELETE/EDIT the comments sends me to SAMAG.com. However, after sorting the filtered comments list (by rating, icon, status, subject, or comment) in the SPAM.MODULE seems to allow me to mass delete the comments. Still a cure for this problem would be good.

My base_url is fine but I have a similar problem. Detailed here

Are you talking about Apache read/write permissions? What did you need to change?
