Just copy all the files, but I would exclude the content of the app/_cache folders. You should also re-enable diagnostics to make sure everything is ok. Obviously, you also need to make sure to move to a server that actually works properly with X3 and has PHP and the necessary modules.

Easiest when upgrading, would be to first install a new X3, excluding /content/ and /config/, and then copy your /content/ and /config/ folder from your previous server.

Not quite sure what you mean ...

I contacted my hosting service and they were unable to help. I looked around the forum and was unable to determine anything I can do to correct the issue. Can you have a look please. I will PM the ftp login info.

Your new server is PHP 5.2.17 ... Not sure why they are "unable to help". Why are you moving your X3 to a (excuse my English) crappy service?

Well, everything seems to be cool now except one important thing: mod_rewrite ... Simply speaking, it just doesn't seem to be available. We use multiple tests to check if mod_rewrite is available, and I even logged in to your panel an checked the phpinfo(), where there is no mention of mod_rewrite (apart from the environment variables we set in the .htaccess).

You can ask your host?

Yes, the front page will load ... but links won't work, and neither will image-resizing, because they both depend on mod_rewrite. The mod_rewrite is on the hosting-side, and yes it's not something you (or me) would want to deal with ...
