Why can't I find any pages after migrating a site? I need to migrate a drupal site from one host to another. I didn't create the original. I tried using "Backup &amp; Migrate", and I also tried to export the sql database in phpmyadmin from old site, import into new site, and move the file manually with ftp. My new host is GoDaddy. I can change that if GoDaddy causes issues!

Here is the problem, The theme used in the old site appears as an option, I can choose it, and the site works, but no content is there at all. All the modules show up in the new environment, still no content. I go to search for content, still no content. I can't find any pages anywhere!!!

Any help?
So, the usual way to do this is like this.


dump all caches and back up the database
clean drupal install on your new server
move the db to your new server
configure proper db user on new server
copy the sites folder to the new server
make sure settings.php is correct for new server config
run update.php


It's not clear from your description exactly what's happened, but I would try it again. From what you describe, it doesn't sound like you followed all the steps for a normal site migration, so you need to make sure all the stuff drupal needs is there. I've also had some issues with folder permissions when moving stuff to Godaddy, so you can look at that too.
