I migrated my Moodle install to a new hosting server (Site5) using these instructions (http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_migration), including putting the site into maintenance mode before migrating. I updated the config.php and checked the permissions are correct on the data directory.
Nobody can log into the new install. I tried the various suggestions here (http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=111807), like ditching the session files in the data directory and the rows in the session table, but to no avail.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

Moodle v1.8.4 on MySQL
Server: Linux v2.6.27-grsec; Apache v 2.2.11 (Unix); PHP v5.2.8; MySQL version 5.0.67-community-log
Groan. Never mind. Permissions problem, I think.
I tired just doing the migration a second time. This time instead of using rsync to transfer the files I used:
tar zcpf ...
The 'p' option preserves permissions; and then just scp'ed the tar file to the new server. Unpacked it. Fixed the config file. All was well.

Hi Tim,
I doubt it's the permission problem. I apologize for not saying this out front, but I installed Moodle using the Fantastico suite, which comes with my website server. I've never had problem with Fantastico when I use other open source software like Wordpress or Joomla, so that's why I was stumped. Do you have any idea what could have happened? I will check the permission just in case, however. Thank you!

Hi,
I just realized that I was being a dummy and replied to a different thread. My apologies to the original poster!
