How to check if the problem is of clean url when migrating the database from one server to another? After uploading the my local db on server my site was not working and what I was getting was white screen of death. After few hours of struggling I found that as the server was not configured for clean url and the in the database the clean url settings was ON that was causing the problem.

Is there any way we can come to know if the problem is of the clean url in such scenario.

Also I can't use the backup and migrate module as the database size was too large.
It is advised to turn off the CLEAN URLs before migrating the database from one server to server.

Reason behind you were not able to see errors on white screen of death may be error reporting being turned off, if that is the case than you may try adding the following lines in setting.php to turn on error reporting:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', TRUE);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', TRUE);



  Also check the entry's of "watchdog" table if you are getting white screen of death upon migration.
