Hey Kevin, I would recommend that you tar.gz / zip a backup of your work first. Just in Case. I've had problems with moving configured eZ publish installations. Till yesterday I've had mix results moving eZ publish installations. It's is possible but you have to be careful. What I've found is that eZ publish 3 is very sensitive to file & directory permissions. Specifically when the files in design/ are not set to 757. I could be wrong but it seems like the modfix.sh script in bin/modfix.sh does not check or alter permissions for the design/ folder.
Var permissions in the documentation say to match : chmod og+rwx -R var
Settings Permissions are suggested in the documentation comments to match: chmod 777 -R settings/siteaccess I do know that all my problems have happened when I used the copy command which copies an existing directory / file and creates a new duplicate copy (with new & often incorrect file & directory permissions). To avoid this I would move the directory instead. move commands don't change the file / directory permissions. I move the directory from a the existing name to the name of the folder i want it to be when after the move like this example. I would also backup the directory before I installed it just in case. I have found that if you tar.gz an eZ publish installation you can drop the archive in the parent folder where you want the code to live and simple un pack it without having to worry about file permissions becoming a problem (most of the time, always exceptions to any rule). mv cms public_html;
tar -zcf public_html_7_19_2004_v2-0-1.tar.gz public_html;
You may want to review some of the documenation file permissions:

I don't know if you have seen the above post, I just wanted to ask if you would care to comment?
You didn't ask but I wonder if you are also interested in removing the index.php from the url of your eZ publish links?
