All I can say now is, check the following: 1) Make sure you copied all files from the old server, so that all files end up at the same place in the new server. 2) .htaccess files can also be stored in subdirectories, though that doesn't seem likely here. 3) Check you old website virtual host config, this depends on which webserver there is. In most (all?) webservers it is possibily to specify URL redirects. For Apache on a Unix based server, check the config files in /etc/apache (ubuntu has them in /etc/apache/sites_enabled), Nginx would be in /etc/nginx (Ubuntu also has them in /etc/nginx/sites_enabled). Other webservers probably also have their config files in /etc/<webservername>/... - Matijn -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
