Only the Homepage is showing after moving Magento

Question

I've just moved a Magento website to another server and domain. I adjusted the secure and unsecure url path in the cofig data table and also adjusted the config.xml. After that i've also cleared the cache.

Something strange happens now on the new domain.

When i enter the url in my browser it shows me the homepage, so i was happy at first. Sadly it does only that. Al the links in the menu don't work and also the backend isn't approachable. I also checked this in de db-table, the path is correct.

So only the homepage is showing correct, everything else seems like it isn't there.

Does anybody have a clue on what's going wrong here?

TIA!

Answer 1

Make sure you have the .htaccess file in place. It might not be copied when moving the shop

Answer 2

If the link mysite.com/index.php/customer/account/login works but mysite.com/customer/account/login get's you 404 then you don't have mod_rewrite enabled on your new server.
Enable it and it should work.
