I'm trying to copy a site from subdomain1.site.com to subdomain2.site.com, but aside from the index page I get a Not Found error on the new site. I'm using Drupal 4.7.

I assume there's something really basic I'm missing. Here's what I did:

1) exported the DB with phpmyadmin and imported it into the new DB.

2) Copied the files to the new location.

3) Changed sites/default/settings.php to point to the new DB.

Now I get the site's index page fine, but everything else comes up Not Found.

This feels like something really silly that probably is in the handbook somewhere, but I didn't see anything. Sorry if I missed it.

Did you also change the $base_url to the new one in settings.php?

---------

Edit: Scrap that... this is not necessary for a subdomain, only for a subdirectory...
You should only make sure that an old $base_url is not still there.

Edit 2: Also check whether your .htaccess has been copied. It could have been left out because it is hidden.

It was the .htaccess problem. It didn't get included when I copied files (a poorly constructed cp command when I was tired).

Thanks for the help.
