[Product-Developers] Need Help Moving a Site

[Dylan Jay]

I'm not sure how portal_migration works but one thing you may need to  
do in this scenario is rebuild the catalog if the final folder  
structure has changed. You can get some pretty strange errors due to  
searches occurring on a completely different plone instance.
NB. To be clear this is "clear and rebuild", not "update" catalog.
