404 error when updating site after migrating to new server

[loggableim]

Hi, i switched from server a (cpanel) to server b (cpanel), i used cpanel backup/import function and all seemed to be working fine. However, when I try to save any settings, banners, etc, anything in backend, I get an error404 and nothing is saved.

Anyone has any suggestions why that could happen?

What PHP version are you using? cPanel's default is pretty old. You have to manually set it in cPanel to a more recent version.

Otherwise follow the documentation and enable php debugging.

Are you sure that the response is 404 and not anything else? Try to provide the exact response header you are getting.

Have you experiencing logout issues? If not, then the issue could be Apache mod_security.

no logout issues, i stay logged in when I login. Also with other accounts.

Then the issue is mod_security or any other of that kind altering your POST requests.

thanks so much, I disabled mod security now I am able to edit my settings again. I guess it is better to enable it again once im finished editing?

To be honest I don't know, I don't use it.

I don't even have it installed on any of my servers, all Apache.
