I am attempting to move my site to a new server. To do this, I did the following:

-Exported DB
-Downloaded all site files
-Imported DB into new database
-Uploaded all site files to new host

However, I am now getting intermittent "page not found" errors. Even weirder is that 99% of the time one of these pops up, a simple page refresh will load the page properly.

Any idea what's going on?

As far as mods go, if any are the culprit I'm going to guess it would be phpbbforum, which is a bridge between drupal and the phpbb forum software.

The site is http://www.haloreachbeta.com (that is it on the old host, the errors are happening on my test server).

I have the exact issue — intermittent, and it is crippling a site (unpaid work). I am still trying to resolve this. I get this for nodes, (advanced) forum pages, admin pages...

I did come across a reference to a patch to batch API which might be related (have not been able to find it again).

I am also have batch time-outs (module updates not working), and auto-complete fields generate an error.

I am assuming this is server-side, as I do not have these issues on a MAMP (localhost) install. I have a different site on the same host without these issues (different modules, different usage which needs to be considered). The site is hosted on a Dreamhost shared service — it might be a php memory issue, and I am following this up?

As for what I have tried, I have cleared the cache via the performance page, emptied all cache tables in the database, rebuilt permissions.

I know this is an old post but I'm having the same issue. I installed Drupal 6 locally and then transferred to my shared hosting account. I now get an occasional 'page not found' error message, usually when uploading content etc - simply hitting refresh solves this problem and the page loads fine but this does upload a duplicate of the content.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue - is it simply the fact that I'm on shared hosting?
I think the problem is with the database but I'm not too sure on how to fix this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm experiencing the same problem: Site developed on a local LAMP installation and all was working fine. Moved the site to shared hosting and now there are intermittent page not found errors. If anyone has a theory about where to start I would greatly appreciate it!
