I just had my site transferred from one hosting company to another. Its a PHP nuke site that uses a MYSQL database. Somehow the previous webmaster made static pages .htm pages in a pages folder, when the user click a link on the navigation menu its href pointed to a page in the root directory and not the pages folder. Somehow the site was able to find the correct page. Other links just called modules like PHP nuke should.

Now that the site is on the new provider, I have several links that point to static .htm pages that cannot be found. Everything was transferred, but I am thinking there was some setting the previous webmaster must have used in order to get the site to look in the right place. Another instance is all my news articles they have links that say things like article131.htm instead of a querystring to the PHP nuke.

Is anyone familiar with what I am describing and can help? I can give you links to the current site and to the new one that is on a test site for right now.

I appreciate the help. By the way the working site is [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] and the new test site is [ Register or login to view links on this board. ] . Check the navigation links and you will set the problems

check and make sure you have an .htaccess also make sure that you have modrewrite available to use.
