I created a drupal site on a hostgator account for proofing and am trying to migrate it to a 1and1 hosted account. The site is in a strange state; the front page renders ok execpt for the images, which are all missing, and none of the links work. I can't log in because mysite/user results in a 500 error.

This is a drupal 6.4 site. I didn't so anything with urls other than the clearn urls setting so that node\55 worked on the test site.

I migrated the database; moved the files over via fpt. I adapted settings.php, only changed that seems to be needed is the database line. I could not get the original mysqli param to work and so changed it to simple mysql, at that point I was able to get to the site's main page, but it's still pretty broken.

Re the missing images, a sample url is now http://www.mysite.com/thetestsite/sites/default/files/main01.png

The 'thetestsite' portion is the folder in which I had installed and tested the site while it was being proofed. How do I get rid of the 'thetestsite' part of the url?

The urls for internal links all look correct, they all look like http://www.mysite.com/node/55. But none work.

Trying to log in via /?q=user got me the login form, but when I tried to log in it failed badly. Now all I get is an error like

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4104 bytes) in /homepages/12/d256363711/htdocs/mysite/includes/menu.inc on line 628

at least in IE, even for the front page; firefox still gets to the front page.

What a nightmare.
