My guess with the way it sounds would be a file ownership/permission
problem, like Jerry had mentioned. when the files are copied to the
new server, they will by default be created as the user doing the
copying being the owner, where they should be setup to have the
correct permissions for the web server user. That would be what I
would check first at least.
