 * I am trying to move my wordpress install from 1 server to another.
    I have read:
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
 * What I did:
    – Download my wordpress folder and database – Changed the database
   info in my wp-config – Changed my wordpress / site address via a database editor–
   I uploaded my wordpress folder, and imported my database on my new server
 * – I logged into the admin panel on the new site, and all the values were correct(
   the URLs and permalinks all had the correct (new) server name)
    – All of my pages
   were still there, and they all showed the correct links (with the new server 
   name) – I went to the main page of my new site (a static page), which worked,
   all my auto generated menus looked good. – **When I click a link to go to any
   page other than my home one I get a “Not Found”**. I get Not Found even if I 
   click view page from the editor.
 * any ideas on how to fix this?
 * edit, I did a search in my database for my old host name, and found that it is
   still in the “guid” for all of my pages. Anyone know how to write a query to 
   change these all?

 * Edit: I followed the instructions exactly this time and I have the same problem.
   If I change my permalink settings to “default”, then all of my links work fine.
   My problem is when I change it to one that uses the name
