Move host and domain (1 post)

    I have followed the procedures for changing domain names on a Wordpress MU install and moving to a new host.

    I changed the domain in "wp-admin/options.php" whilst logged in on the previous host, then copied files over to the new host where I also edited wp-config.php in Notepad++ to give the new domain name. I similarly edited the .sql dump with a find/replace for the domain names.

    This was then imported with the same database (manually created in MySQL console) and user (same) names as before, with "All" permissions granted to the user on the database. I wrote a test script to connect to the DB using the credentials using PHP which worked. The hostname for the DB has been changed to "localhost" in "WP-Config.php".

    PHP is installed and PHP info indicates that mod-rewrite is enabled.

    Ubuntu Server with latest APACHE2/PHP/MySQL installs via apt-get.

    When visiting the site I just get a directory listing as per-

    All plugins have been disabled and theme set to WP Classic with no change.

    Any ideas?
