[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Moving AS to another server?

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

You should check the logs/archivesspace.out log file when you start server to see if it starts up without error. 
Error message from startup may more clearly point to the problem — error message from failed GET is already another step removed from the original problem.  

You might also look at file ownership and permissions in archivesspace/data/ and elsewhere. 

If you’ve copied file tree from one server to another, owner of that temp directory may be different from user who is running new archivesspace. 

If you don’t find anything obviously wrong, starting from a clean install and just copying the config.rb  file from old to new server may be easier and keep things more consistent.

I tried just copy the whole archivesspace directory over.  I changed hostnames in the config.rb file.  Is there anything else I need to do before starting AS?  When I started archivesspace.sh, and went to the site url, I got this in the browser:
