Moving a Drupal Site
Hello,
Following the instructions I obtained on EE in Feb., I was ALMOST able to move a Drupal site from one host to another, seamlessly,
The only thing missing on the new sire is the images that I had uploaded from other sources to be included in blocks in my site.
On the old site, the image files were all in sites/default/files/.
I looked in the new site, they are there on the new site too in the same place.
Why don't they show up?
4 are on the main page:
Old site: rkassoc.org/amc
New Site: http://amcindustries.com.previewdns.com/

I did not know how to use the Backup / Migrate to upload to new.
So I unzipped the gz file (it was all sql) & imported the sql into my new database, It created all the tables, etc.
But as Arrow_1 pointed out, on the old host, there is an amc folder at the top level; no such folder at the new because when live I want it at the root.
I can fix the path to the images; there are (currently) only 3 effected blocks.
Thanks

For future reference, to use the back up and migrate module, you go to Conguration-> Back Up and Migrate in the upper right side of the page, click on the restore tab and upload the database created from going to the same page and making a backup.

Thanks, Nan.
I didn't notice that.

In this particular case, the backup and migrate module isn't the issue. It's just the manually created links that need to be manually updated.

I was working on something else & I thought of that.
I'll be FLABBERGASTED if that's all; that would mean moving the site was as easy as you (& others) said it would be.
