Did you run Setup at the new site (don't proceed if the "Upgrade" checkbox is not checked)?
That should straighten out the paths for you.
Check the paths and URLs in config.inc.php if there is still trouble.
Sometimes you also need to delete all files in the core/cache directory and clear you browser cache and cookies.
Hi BobRay,
I cannot run Setup, I still get the 500 Error. The paths in the config.inc.php looks correct.
I have deleted all files in the cache directory, cleared browser cache with no joy.
Is there something I've missed?

Sounds like a bad .htaccess file. Does your local server have mod_rewrite enabled?
Yes it does. Is it worth mentioning that I re-name the .htaccess file (which has at least helped me to determine if that's where a problem lies before now) he problem doesn't go away.
Actually saying that, I'm not sure. How can I check if it does have it enabled or not?
I've checked and I'm pretty sure it does support it.
Sometimes clearing the sessions table helps.
Also are the permissions correct on the directories?

Could also be bad file permissions. I've especially run across this if the server requires 755-644 and gets anything 777.
I've checked the permissions and they're all set to either 755 or 644.
Any other ideas?
