[Clug-tech] Drupal restore

Hi,

On-going task of getting my site rehosted.

I've been able to setup the new drupal site complete with a new
database.  At this point I realized that the new site is drupal 6.13 and
the last backup I have is from drupal 6.3 (I think - anyone know how to
check?)

No problem, install drupal 6.3, setup a bogus web site.  Then nuke the
bogus database and replace with the backup site, upgrade to 6.13, backup
the updated database and everything should be good right?  Wrong!  

I installed drupal 6.3, setup the bogus web site, restored my backup
database and then had a look at the site.  The main page displays just
fine but all the internal links on it are broken.  I get:
The requested URL <where I clicked> was not found on this server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
J.J.
