Copied Drupal 8 to Live server now can't log in

I built a simple Drupal 8 website on my DEV box and moved it to the LIVE server.

  1. Copied the files on the DEV server into a tarball
  2. Moved these file to the LIVE server (using scp).
  3. Uncompressed web files into it's destination directory (/var/www/html/newsite)
  4. Created the database, user and set permissions to match that on the DEV server
  5. Backed up the MySQL Server database into a .sql file with mysqldump
  6. Imported from the .sql file into the database of the same name
  7. Made sure the APACHE settings pointed to the site's directory

When I navigate to the front page, it comes up.

  • Images and page content displays
  • Webform works and emails the account it is set for

BUT cannot navigate to any other page!

  • /user = Page not found
  • /[anything] = Page not found
  • /?q=user = goes to the (front) page and the URL remains with the
  • /?=[anything] = shows the front page with the URL remaining

Meaning I cannot log in or run (database) updates!

I've tried

  • deleting the Sessions table in the database
  • verify mod_rewrite is enabled in httpd (CentOS)
  • verified the apache (httpd) config files match

Any help or ideas appreciated.

I don't think wiping out the website, install a Drupal site and then copy the files/database over the new one would fix anything.

Have you got a copy of the Drupal .htaccess file in the webroot?

Those are the exact symptoms of a missing/unprocessed .htaccess file

There is a .htaccess file in the webroot. What am I looking for in the file?

Do you have `AllowOverride All` in the vhost? If yes, is the `<Directory>` path that's under definitely correct?

Try truncating all the cache tables and running the 'update.php' file or using Drush (drush updb).

Clive, you are correct.

Looking in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (Apache configuration file on RedHat based distributions such as CentOS) I added the directory and include the AllowOverride All.

Once I refreshed it works! Thank you!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
