Changing server and going to 0.8.2 - its all gone wrong

My ISP is in the process of switching me to a new CGI server. I had all kinds of problems moving the existing serendipity 0.7.1 files across, so I decided to simply do a fresh install of serendipity 0.8.2 on the new server.

Something has gone wrong though (although I'm not sure I have the right technical vocabulary to explain what). Basically, although the latest articles show up as expected at the home page http://ccgi.markandsteph.plus.net/blog, the stylesheet is not found and none of the other links work

e.g. the open administration link points to "http://ccgi.markandsteph.plus.com/blog/admin", which returns a 404 not found, but I can get at the administration with
http://ccgi.markandsteph.plus.com/blog/ ... _admin.php

What is configured wrong? I have a feeling it might be something to do with URL rewriting.

thanks in advance

Mark

OK, it seems like I have got it working now, and unfortunately I don't know what the magic step that got it going was. It was confusing to make the transition anyway because I had two different installations of serendipity both pointing to the same MySQL database.
