Hi Bob
I spent this morning auditing the migrated blog files.
The main problem that I have noticed so far is that a folder (‘disclosures’) that was previously at the highest level on the old site had not been migrated at all. As a result most of the links in this post (http://ccgi.newbery1.plus.com/blog/?p=703) were dead. I assumed that copying the folder to the corresponding folder on the new server would solve the problem, but this is not the case. The problem seems to be that there is an element prefixed by a tilda in the links that the new server does not recognise.
Obviously this can be remedied easily enough by editing the links, but I have no idea how many links in other posts to documents stored on the site may also be dead. I have never consciously used the element with the tilda, but I do recall seeing it often when I have copied links from the browser address bar and being puzzled as to why it was there. That is a more serious problem.
I am quite certain that the links referred to above worked at the time of the migration as that post was widely read and linked to by other sites and, apart from the fact that I always check links after posting, commenters would have quickly made me aware of any problem.
It would seem that on the old set-up, both the following links would work, but after migration only the second one does:
http://ccgi.xxxxxxx1.plus.com/~xxxxxxx1/disclosures/IBT application for DFID funding.pdf
http://ccgi.xxxxxxx1.plus.com/disclosures/IBT application for DFID funding.pdf
Where xxxxxxx1 is my username in each case.
