I have performed 50+ backups and moves with no issues, that is until now. I backed up the site with Akeeba and moved it from Host Monster (YUK) to a Rochen server and now when I try to access the administrator I get a quick flash and an Oops! This link appears to be broken.

What can I check to get this figured out? I have double checked the config file, enabled and disabled the htaccess file as well as change these settings on and off in the config. I am out of ideas as to why the admin is gone? The site loads fine otherwise and can be seen here www.themagikbox.com.

Disregard this, Host Monster put a php.ini file in the admin folder. WOW how could I have missed that one...;(

BTW, I just saw in my email inbox that you submitted and deleted another post in this thread. Based on that information, you have a php.ini in your administrator directory. Delete or rename it. Now you have access to your site's back-end ;)

Thanks Nicholas,

Thats what I did (delete it) and why I deleted my last post. It was when I submitted it that I realized the php.ini file was the culprit.
