blogs not appearing after moving subdomains, apache delivers 404. (4 posts)

    I have WPMU running on "alpha.domain.com/blog", with a number of blogs working just fine..
    such as..
    alpha.domain.com/blog/person1/
    alpha.domain.com/blog/person2/
    etc...

    I just finished setting up its new home at "beta.domain.com/blog"

    I changed all of the references to "alpha..." in the database to "beta..."

    I can go to the url "http://beta.domain.com/blog" and it shows the root level screen, just fine. But when I try to go to "http://beta.domain.com/blog/person1" it reports a 404 error in apache.

    To reiterate.
    1. I took a MYSQLDUMP of the database from the original host, and edited all instances of the origin domain name to read the new one.

    2. I copied over all of the files from the origin, and put them where desired in the new server.

    3. I test browse to http://beta.domain.com/blog" and it works.
    but no other blogs beneath .../blog/ work. It reports a 404

    I am also able to go to the ADMIN screens, and see the admin system just fine, and I see all my blogs listed in the blog list. but even clicking on them there doesn't work.

    I am not sure what I'm missing?

    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    I'm thinking this has to do with .htaccess
    I made sure I copied that file over as well... and I'm still facing the same problem.

    any thoughts on maybe what could be in httpd.conf thats screwy?

    Thanks

    Victory!

    Found the difference.
    in the httpd.conf file

    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    # AllowOverride None
    AllowOverride FileInfo Options
    </Directory>

    Was set on the original server

    <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    </Directory>

    Was on the new server... I copied that over to the new httpd.conf and everything works.

    Thanks!

    having the same problem, but your issue was not my issue. Still can't figure out mine.
