Hi all,
I've just migrated a test site to a live site.
I followed the instructions I found on this page http://drupal.org/node/53479
Anyway, I'm facing some issues as the only page I can access is the home page.
When I try to access other nodes, I got blank pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Migration problem
Hi,
If by 'blank pages' you mean a white screen with no content at all, then I encountered the same thing recently when moving a site online - the key was to empty (truncate) the cache tables. The page you linked to mentions this as something 'you can do', but I found it essential.
Thanks for taking time to
Thanks for taking time to help me.
Well, after truncating the cache tables, I can't even access the home page.
However, I don't think it has to do with the cache tables.
Do you have any ideas what I should check?
Thanks in advance.

Other ideas
If things are screwy, the first things I would do would be:
- Check settings.php. Is everything pointing to the online domain?
- Check the .htaccess file. Is it there? Did it get uploaded in text mode? Is Drupal in a subfolder? Does 'RewriteBase' need to be set?
- Clear the caches (all of 'em),
- Swear a bit,
- Hammer on the browser reload button,
- Check the php/apache error logs,
- Check the php memory settings in php.ini
- Make sure the FTP upload actually succeeded for all files (i.e. nothing's missing or corrupted)
- Search on drupal.org!
N.B. Not necessarily in that order, and probably with more swearing.
