I moved all of our databases to a 32-bit MySQL to 64-bit and also upgraded PHP/Apache at the same time. Both web servers are still configured on the machine.
So if I bring up new Apache/PHP/MySQL - everything works. I can do a new wordpress install, run PHP apps, all good. When I transfer my files over to new doc root and my database files I get error 500 whenever trying to bring up a page (even directly).
I have taken the database out of the mix because I can run old Apache/PHP and point it to new MySQL and the sites run fine. So I am guessing this has to do with some kind of mod rewrite setting... but it doesn't make since that a new WP install works and on that install I can change permalink structure.
Let me know if you need any more info.

It seems that I might not have an extension enabled but I went one for one across my old install.
I have new version of Apache running stand alone from old. I can turn on old version of Apache/PHP and everything works fine with same files and database. So there has to be a config difference but I can't see it.
