Cannot upload after moving mydms from one server to another.

[tmedcalf]

In Ubuntu 10.04 I installed mydms then moved the database and documents from a virtual machine (same OS) to a physical machine. All the documents are there, labeled correctly and download correctly but I cannot upload to the physical machine. I probably made a mess of the file permissions. Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to totally uninstall, delete the directories, and do it the "right way." If that is the case some guidance on the right way would be appreciated!
