Nicole,
It sounds like you didn't test the new server thoroughly before the
migration. That could have saved you a lot of headache.
Keep in mind that this is FREE software, and comes with no guarantee. The
help you receive from this list is also FREE. While I know you're in a bad
spot and quite frustrated, "bitching" to the list and complaining about what
the software is and isn't made for won't solicit much help from the list.
An alternative is to pay someone for commercial support, like Inter7 (the
maintainers of this software), who could bail you out quickly.
That said, please post your configure options and examples from your logs.
