Hello all! I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post such a beginner question.
I'm just getting started with Aegir and my first new site was an import of my existing D-6.14 site from my old shared host. I uploaded the entire site, exported the DB, created/imported etc and everything went fairly smoothly. The platform and the new site verified. I edit my hosts file and go to have a look at my site and the homepage almost completely works, but any link on the homepage to any content results in a server 500 error. Also, any links to "story" nodes on my homepage just disappeared.
I assume its a simple DB problem, but I don't even know where to start! Does this symptom ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks for any ideas, and I look forward to learning Aegir and discussing here in the future! Also, if there is a better place for beginner questions, please let me know.
cheers,
Lee
*** EDIT : I'm assuming its because there are refs in the DB to "sites/all/* " when it now has to be "sites/mysite.com/* " ? if so, fair enough, should be an easy fix. Does this mean that with an Aegir hosted site, any urls to images etc are of the form: www.mysite.com/sites/mysite.com/whatever" ? i've never tried multi-site before, and this seems a bit odd looking to me.

After importing a new site I
After importing a new site I usually have to verify it again manually and run a status report to see if there is anything else is not right.
Are you sure you have clean_urls configured correctly and an .htaccess in the platform for your drupal install?
If the problem is related to incorrect links to your old directory structure use this module: http://drupal.org/project/sitedir_migrate
htaccess was it (among others)
Thanks for the reply hozt. It turned out I had an old version of my htaccess in there. I've got it all working now, how exciting!! Now to upgrade its platform!
I'm still curious about the URL situation of multisite drupal. Right now, my background images and other files have urls of the form: www.mysite.com/sites/mysite.com/themes/.... just seems kinda funny looking with the double domain name.
Also, does anyone know a good site for beginners like myself to fire Aegir Q/A back and forth without getting in the way of serious discussions?
cheers!
