Greetings Everyone,

So I moved drupal from one server to another. I copied the database over, and the files, so in essence everything should be the same as it was on the old server. The problem is that the URL aliases aren't working. How can I disable the url aliases from the backend so I can at least get into the site and update stuff and reconfigure stuff?

Thanks!

your should still be able to get to http://yoursite.com/?q=admin/settings and shut off clean urls.

I stumbled across the same problem after restoring the database with Backup & Migrate Mod.
You won't get nowhere if you don't know the "dirty" URL exactly. Make it http://www.yoursite.tld/?q=admin/settings/clean-urls
in order to get to the option selection directly.

I faced a similar problem yesterday and this is what I did:

  1. Go into phpMyAdmin and delete everything from table "cache"
  2. Go into the "variables" table and delete the row with the name "clean_url" (the value should be set to s:1:"1";)

Not sure it's the best way but it works.
