After moving site, old one does not view pages.

  • I made the mistake of not backing up my local site before copying it over to the new server. (I did copy the database though.) I followed the instructions to change the url in my local version before downloading the database for the new server. (The new site is running okay on the server.) However, when I went back to my local version, and installed the earlier backed-up database, the admin opens up and the Home page views, but nothing else. (see error message below.) What I think is happening is that my local copy is looking for files on the new server, instead of locally where it should.
    Is there a solution? THANK YOU.

    This is the error message: Object not found!

    The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

    If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

  • I have a similar problem to Laptophobo. In short, I replaced my httpdocs (FTP FileZilla) with an earlier backed-up version. Now my Home page views but nothing else. I too receive an error message stating:

    Not Found
    The requested document was not found on this server.

    The strange thing is though that the home page does not correspond to the home page that belongs to the backed-up version.

    Does anybody have an idea what I can do to get the backed-up version working again? Thank you in advance!
