Migrating from one server to another

Omeka Classic Installing and Upgrading
#1

Hello - I’m trying to migrate an omeka installation from one server to another (both reclaim hosting, via c-panel and FTP.

I followed the second half of these instructions:

And I can get the installation to appear on server #2; however, the only site that will load is the main page : Hispanic San Antonio History --- St. Mary's University Department of History

Any subpage produces a 404 error; and clicking the http://stmupublichistory.org/hispanicsanantonio/admin link in cpanel also produces a 404 error.

Originally the site was hosted at: (http://hispanicsanantoniohistory.com/)
I also tried cloning it to Hispanic San Antonio History --- St. Mary's University Department of History and then importing it to server 2 in case it had something to do with the extension, but that didn’t seem to change the result.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Typically when the homepage works and everything else is a 404, that’s a sign that the .htaccess file that should be at the top level of the Omeka folder is missing or that there’s a problem with it.

Yes! That didn’t match the original - any documentation on how to fix it?

Nevermind - I copy pasted it over, but when I re-imported it saved as htaccess instead of .htaccess. I renamed the file and now the site is working. @jflatnes saves the day again!
