Hello everyone, My boss has two websites -- one of which they wanted me to clone to replace the other. They are on two different servers. They had me transfer the website files, reconfigure to a new database on a new server, and then make cosmetic changes. However, I am finding that none of the links on the clone (apart from the home page) actually work. For instance, if you click "What's New" this should link to the Who We Are page. The URL it links to is: /who-we-are (without any php extension). There is a .php file on public_html that is titled "who-we-are.php." The absence of an extension in the URL made me think there was an .htaccess file, and there was: [/color][/color][/font][/size] Options -MultiViews Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^search([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection-products&section=collection&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^page\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=pages&url=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^product\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=product&category=$1&producturl=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^products\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection-products&section=collection&productcat=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^products\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection-products&section=collection&category=$1&productcat=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^products\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection-products&category=$1&section=collection&subcategory=$2&productcat=$3&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^collection\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection&section=collection&category=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^collection\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection&section=collection&category=$1&subcategory=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] #RewriteRule ^detail\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_page_more&section=$1&category=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] #RewriteRule ^philanthropy([\/]?)$ index.php?option=our-work&section=philanthropy&&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^philanthropy\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_pages&section=philanthropy&category=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^philanthropy\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_page_detail&section=philanthropy&category=$1&pageurl=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^our-work\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_pages&section=our-work&category=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^our-work\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_page_detail&section=our-work&category=$1&pageurl=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_page_detail&section=$1&pageurl=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^our-services([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_pages&section=our-services&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] #RewriteRule ^philanthropy([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_pages&section=philanthropy&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^conceptual-gift-design([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_pages&section=conceptual-gift-design&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] #RewriteRule ^our-services\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=cat_page_detail&section=our-services&pageurl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] #RewriteRule ^our-work([\/]?)$ index.php?option=collection&section=our-work&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)([\/]?)$ index.php?option=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L,QSA] It references a symlink. On the original website, there are two symlinks in the root/ folder (not public_html) that are titled: www -> public_html; and then another called, access_logs -> ../domlogs/artmorp1. I assume I need to add the symlinks to the new server for the new site, but can anyone help me understand what is actually going on in this situation? It would help if you could point out what the problem with the clone, and give me suggestions as to how to fix it. Many thanks.
