Move sugarcrm to new server

[carpediem]

I have read the wiki on how to move sugar to a new server. And I have followed their steps step by step.
1) Copy entire folder to new server
2) Dump database and upload on new MySQL server
3) Change db and url vars in config.php to work with new database and position.
4) Edit .htaccess accordingly

But I get the following error

Bad data passed in; Return to Home

Does anyone know what might cause this.

If I comment out the "clean_special_arguments();" function in the index.php file, the login page displays but a soon as i try to lock in I get other errors like "cant redefine class DateTime" etc.

could it be a permission problem?

No I don't think so, it is running on a XP windows box, so the files don't need permissions

Found the problem, I had a whitespace in my url e.g $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

Then I picked up a nother problem. The new server had PHP 5 on that got a buildin function called DateTime that clash with sugarcrm DateTime class so you have to rename the class and all it's instances

This is from a post quite a while ago from andy that addresses this isue.

It looks like 450g corrected this problem. Bug 9883 addressed this.

QA notes about bug:

1. Before 450g build, all the SugarCRM builds have this bug after logging in, when using php 5.2.0 version.
2. In 450g build, we verified on both Linux and Windows, all the SugarCRM editions can be logged in without this fatal error.
