Moved Moodle from server to another, courses disappeared

I moved the moodle site from one server to another, but the courses disappeared.

I moved moodle with copying moodledata folder from one server to another and with mysql backup and then restored moodledata and mysql tables in the other server. Everyting works fine, but I do not see any courses we had in the original server. Even the URL somemoodlesite.com/course shows course numbers: 6, 9, and so on. When you click the category name there, then no course is visible.
Any ideas?

What do you mean by:

the course URL shows course numbers, 6, 9 and so on ??

Here a few tips that might help:
  • Check that your config.php is correct for the new server
  • Turn debugging on in your Administration->Configuration->Variables page and see whether you get any error messages
  • For more debugging, edit the function execute_sql in datalib.php adding the statement $db->debug=true;
  • Check your Apache error logs
  • Check your mySql error logs
  • Check your new Moodle database with phpMyAdmin

If you search for courses, do you find them?

See the following discussion: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=8150
