Web Services Stop Working After Move From 10.5 to 10.6

I just my Xserve that host my class Website and student Websites from 10.5.8 to 10.6. However, now none of the sites will load. I stopped Web service and started again, no fix. The sites are running using Wordpress, but I did type the IP adress directly and couldn't access the root either. I can go on Safari on the server and the Internet works, so all network settinsg are fine. Any ideas?

After 12+ hours and lots of searching on the Web I finally fixed it. So, in case anybody suffers the same fate here are some resources.


I copied all old mysql folders to a desktop folder for safe keeping and deleted MySQL from the server: http://benkaminski.com/2011/01/02/remove-mysql-from-mac-snow-leopard-10-6x/.


I then went into Server Admin => Settings => Services => Added MySQL => Started service and restarted the server.


Updated the php.ini to reflect the location of mysql.sock: http://kevchapman.co.uk/development/setting-up-apache-on-snow-leopard/.


And if you were dumb enough like me not to have a current SQL backup before updating MySQL: http://www.nullislove.com/2007/10/30/recovering-databases-after-a-mysql-upgrade/.
