FOH dead, BOH working fine... after server move

[sticcino]

Hi,

 

v 1.9

 

my dev vm image was having issues so I created a new vm and copied over my site and restored my db to it. But of course it can't go smoothly.... now the Admin site seems to work fine, but the front end is having issues, the main page loads, but everything else you click on fails with:

 

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

 

I cleared the cache, rebooted, restored from v 1.8 - re-upgraded to 1.9. I noticed the images for the products are "broken" on the main page, but they are in the tables... if this helps.  All the data in the DB seems to be fine, products categories etc..

I also renamed the .htaccess file

 

** Edit **

I went into preferences - CMS and did a save and preview on one of my entries, and it failed with the above message. I tried to create a new CMS entry did a save and preview, and it also failed...

*********

 

** Edit 1 ***

Ok, figured it out, I disabled "friendly URL" and the site came up.... I enabled rewrite module., how can I get friendly URL to work again?

**************

 

Any insight appreciated.

Johnny
