How to copy a CiviCRM/Drupal install from 1 server to another

Question

I've tried copying a a CiviCRM/Drupal install from 1 server to another. I copied all the files within the drupal root, and the database, and changed the database details in both Drupal's settings.php file and CiviCRM's civicrm.settings.php file. Drupal now works fine - copying this over appears to have worked, and I've done so succesfully with the same method many times. However, CiviCRM is not fully working. When I visit the main CiviCRM admin page (ie. http://cea-crm.philosofiles.com/civicrm/ on my server) I see CiviCRM's sidebar boxes (indicating it's working to some extent) but, to the right of them, see:

Page not found
The requested page "/civicrm/" could not be found.

When I click on any sidebar box link, such as 'My Contact Dashboard', I likewise see:

Page not found
The requested page "/civicrm/user?reset=1" could not be found.

Presumably I've missed some change I needed to make to reflect my new server setup? I can't see anything in civicrm.settings.php I still need to change, e.g. I've added lines like define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL' , 'http://cea-crm.philosofiles.com/' ); and $civicrm_root = '/home/myusername/public_html/d7/sites/cea-crm.philosofiles.com/modules/civicrm';

Answer 1

Try emptying the civicrm tables ending in _cache. There's about 4 of them. Also clear all Drupal caches in Admin->performance.

Answer 2

I had something similar to this.

In my case it came right when I set up a settings_location.php file (and in the process discovered I'd copied an old one across which had some wrong settings for the new environment).

It's pretty nasty having a config file inside the module directory, but that's how it is.
