Ok, so I switched a site of mine to a new server (The old one was a crappy IIS so its definitley a good move) and now I have a new problem...
While I was transferring their rediculously low max file upload size meant I had to split the SQL dump in 4... manually...
I think this may be the cause of the problem...
While http://mafsim.com works fine, the new location, http://79.170.40.245/mafsim.com/, looks like crap...
In the admin menus all the themes appear to be missing! even the themes that are in the "Themes" folder in drupal root...
Modules are intact, data is intact, everything is intact, but the themes are just missing... the files are there but drupal doesn't see them...
I got an error with an include file (I think it was theme.inc) but its identical to the one on the other server so... Whats going on? :S
Help please...

It seems problem with cache
It happens sometimes when moving drupal sites.
Get logged into the system and go to themes page and save the theme again.
Hope this will resolve your problem.
the problem is that there
the problem is that there aren't even any themes on the page... not even in the source: As far as drupal is concerned there are no themes at all to choose from :S

You mention that the old server was iis which leads me to believe the new one is not-- so therefore I wouldn't assume that the error message you mention could be ignored (it could be that one webserver either ignored or didn't process the error condition the same way).
Troubleshooting is an exact and methodical science-- you can't simply write off error messages and changes to the technology stack (ie swapping apache for iis or a different version of iis) simply because the application layer can run in multiple environments.
Since the error is in theme.inc and the problem is with themes-- I find it very difficult to believe this is merely a coincidence. I would start there-- google and/or search d.o with some unique words from the error message and see what you turn up.
my point is that it only
my point is that it only popped up once, and now I cant even find it in the logs...
I know it probably has to do with theme.inc but I don't see anything wrong with it now and I dont know what the error message was...

hmmm... ok then try clearing the cache (admin/settings/performance), running update.php, and visiting the modules page.
No dice I'm afraid... caching
No dice I'm afraid... caching was turned off as the website was still in development, and its running on drupal 5 so it may not even have a cache clearing button if memory serves :/

Then look in the db itself for cache* tables and empty them if there's anything there. Another thing to look at might be the permissions of the different subdirectories.
I emptied the caches already,
I emptied the caches already, didn't think about the permissions but could that really be the problem? what's the chances of the themes being protected randomly while the modules and every other aspect works fine :/
Checked it again, turns out I had a bad connection, files were missing, I uploaded again and now it works, man I'm dumb -_-

lol, as long as it's fixed ;-)
