Can’t access pages after setup on new server

  • Hiya.
    I just moved our wordpress setup from one server to another. At first sight, everything works fine: I can access the home page and wp-admin. However, once I click on a page-link, I end up with a 404.
    I can edit pages from the backend and checked their permalinks and they look fine (<ip>/userdir/wpdir/pagename/).
    Any idea what might be causing this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Tassilo

    How are you hosting this site? If this is your own VPS, check the virtual host settings for this site and add the following 3 lines:

    <Directory /path/to/wordpress/installation>
   AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    then restart apache/httpd.

    Thank you, but unfortunately, that didn’t fix it. The page is hosted on a VPS, yes.
    Here’s the setup (had to exchange the domainname for <url> here):

    # vhost_start <url>.com
<VirtualHost <ip>:80>
	ServerName <url>.com
	ServerAlias www.<url>.com
	ServerAdmin webmaster@<url>.com
	DocumentRoot /home/www/public_html/gain
	UseCanonicalName Off
	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/www/public_html/gain/cgi-bin/

	# Custom settings are loaded below this line (if any exist)
	# Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/www/<url>.com/*.conf

	<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
		UserDir disabled
		UserDir enabled www
	</IfModule>

	<IfModule mod_suexec.c>
		SuexecUserGroup www www
	</IfModule>

	<IfModule mod_suphp.c>
		suPHP_UserGroup www www
		suPHP_ConfigPath /home/www
	</IfModule>

	<Directory "/home/www/public_html">
		AllowOverride All
	</Directory>

	<Directory "/home/www/public_html/gain">
		AllowOverride All
	</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
# vhost_end <url>.com

    Do you have an .htaccess file in the site’s docroot? Also, have you tried resetting your permalinks?
