I am running fudforums 3.0.4 and have to migrate them to a new host and upgrade to 3.0.9.

Steps taken
1. Install 3.0.4 on the new host at /var/www/
2. Check if the default install is working. (which works)
2. Take backup from current hosting and restore to the new location. from /var/www/virtuals/
3. Run consistency check
4. Run reindex

At this point no matter what link I click it redirects to the same page.1
1. Login works I can go into administration using user/password from the newly restored DB
2. All links on first page except Administration(after loing) return to same page.

Server Setup :
1. Debian Stretch
2. Apache 2.0
3. php5.6 (since 7.0 is missing a function)
4. mysql (hosted locally)

my .htaccess
<pre>
php_value output_buffering 64000
php_value variables_order GPCS
php_flag implicit_flush 0
php_flag register_globals 0
php_flag register_argc_argv 0
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc 0
php_flag session.use_trans_sid 0
php_flag expose_php 0

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L]

<Limit CONNECT>
order deny,allow
deny from all

It might be a problem with your rewrite rules?
Take them out to see if it helps.

If I remove the rewrite rules I get 404 on all links.

My .htaccess contains the following lines, nothing more:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L]

I think the rewrite rules depend on the way the system is configured since i am missing that info
1. forum web : /var/www/forums.example.com
2. forum data: /var/www/FUDforum

I changed my .htaccess to

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBAse /forum
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L]

with no effect actually it started givingInternal Server error

Thanks for the help. I finally fixed the problem. It was a custom theme issue rather than fudforum issue.

Now I am running into another problem. I was able to change the theme and everything started working except Administration->category Manager. Everytime I click that link the script runs out of memory. I have tried allocating upto 4G ram but its just eats up everything and nothing comes out.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /var/www/forums.example.com/adm/admcat.php on line 120
