 * So I moved boxes yesterday. I was on a windows box and my blog was working fine.
 * I backed up my db and files and uploaded them on the new unix server. Once DNS
   updated I tried to use the blog. No go. I was getting an error about MySQL not
   being installed. I did a PHPinfo and it wasnt there.
 * Thats when I realized that my PHP.ini was from the windows box and referenced
   paths like c:\…. which the unix box wouldn’t have. I removed all lines from the
   PHP.ini that referenced the c: drive.
 * I have been able to get other php software to work on this box. like PHPbb and
   I created a page with dreamweaver that can access my WP database.
 * To try to eliminate other variables I deleted everything and put up a fresh copy
   of WP and a blank database. With my PHP.ini mods I am no longer getting a message
   about MySQLnot being installed. Now I have;
 * Internal Server Error
    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration
   and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator,
   [webmaster@blog.liquidarchaeology.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-servers-php-broken/webmaster@blog.liquidarchaeology.com?output_format=md)
   and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
   that may have caused the error.
 * More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
 * I am at a loss. Other apps work. The database is working. Whats wrong !#%&
 * Here is a link to my PHPinfo so you can see how the box is currently configured.
   Is there something missing?

 * Encountering this probelms is one way to make someones head ecplode.
 * Found [this](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/136259?replies=14) and it seems
   to have fixed my problem. I finally got a connection to the blank DB. So now 
   I am uploading my real wp db and files to make sure.
