Goal: Upgrade from 6.17 to 6.19 and migrate to another web-host during this process
I had experience doing this minor upgrade on another site, so I feel very comfortable that I handled the upgrade process correctly. I think it is the migration that is giving me problems.
Problem: After migrating my site from one web host to another using the backup and migrate module it seems that all links are broken! This happened after using the restore function in the backup and migrate module. The contents of the two posts on the front page were from my previous database so it seems to have had some success. The new web host is using different database names (I'm not sure if this is an issue or not)
I had a lot of product content developed in the ubercart module, and some specific views created (did I need to backup these pieces separately or should they be included in the .mysql file that was created from the backup and migrate module?
Would I need to activate and configure my modules before using the restore function?
Would any configuration settings be included in the backup and migrate .mysql file?
for example, the UPS shipping tracking settings and account information.
What else can I expand upon to make the situation clearer?
What might be some of the problems here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you moved did you go from drupal installed in a subdirectory to installed in the root or vice versa?
Did you forget to migrate
Did you forget to migrate your .htaccess file?

YES!
Thank you so much! everything seems to be in working order now that I added the .htaccess file. I did lose some pictures in the migration, but all in all not a big deal!
Thank you
Worked instantly.
I migrated the .htaccess file as you said and voila! Worked like a charm. I learn new things everyday, and with something like this, I am not likely to forget.
Mine wasn't with pictures though, it was all my other menu links that were not working besides the front page.
Thanks!
Image problems
I thought everything was going well. Except I've still lost all functionality with my images as can be seen here http://www.zibasoap.com/products
Is there something in the HTAccess file that is related to the images, or some other peice of the puzzle that I'm missing? I re-uploaded all the images of each product and still am not able to get them to show up in any views. It doesn't feel like an imagecache issue, or an ubercart imaging issue, because the image will not show despite whatever views format I choose.
It seems like there is a problem finding/mapping the image (I hope this makes sense!)
Again, any help would be much appreciated!

Well, I am not
Well, I am not sure...
Looking at the page source, its trying to load images in http://www.zibasoap.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/uc_thumbnail/work... . Are there actually images files there? If not, then I would say its an imagecache issue. If so, then I really don't know.... could be a pathauto problem... you might clear out your URL aliases manually...
