Moved to New Server/Ip Address Now Facebook Can't Scrape Website

[mhernandez84]

About a week ago I moved my site to a new server and was assigned a new ip address. After the move I was able to continue sharing content to google +, twitter etc. Except for Facebook. The debugger tool keeps returning the default apache page.

I've tried ever tip I've seen on this site thus far, cleared ever cache and waited a week to see if facebook would clear its caches but that hasn't happened. All the old content made before the move and new content added after the move all return a 404 error.

- Removed -

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After reviewing my error and access logs it appears the scraper is looking for my content here : /usr/local/apache/htdocs however only the basic error files (500, 403) etc are contained in that folder.

I'm also getting a ton of errors like this: File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/content
File does not exist: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/sites

Those errors are referencing drupal files (my cms) but all those files are at /home/accountname/public_html

Why would any scraper be looking in /htdocs and how can I get it to look in the home directory?

It appears the scraper isn't the only ip address looking in that directory. I've been using cpanel for years and have never had to upload anything to the htdocs folder. Is there any reason some ips are looking there instead of the /home directory?

Hello

It looks like you created a new thread to address this issue:

Changing Default Directory from /usr/apache/htdocs to /home/accountname/public_html

I am closing this thread at this time.

Thank you.
