The process I used to migrate was to install IC on teh new server, do bin/makecat, and then scp the pages/, templates/, html/, and products/ drectories over to the live server form the dev server.  The filesystem paths and d info are the same on the two servers.  The catalog seems to be fully functional when browsing it.

I go to Items->Item List click hte sku of the item I want to edit and then click OPtions in the top navigation to edit its options.  I choose Simple Options then click the Update button and am presented with an error page that says only Error: at the top and no more detail than that.  I am not getting an error message in my main or catalog error logs, nor in my apache error log.

I'm running IC 4.8.6 on Red Hat 7.1.  I originally did copy everything over and had the same problem, so I started again from scratch and copied over only the directories I thought I really needed, this time excluding some like session/ etc.  Same problem.

I think I've found a clue to the problem in the source of item_option.html.  The only code in there that bounces to the error page is:

[if-mm function="!tables" table="[cgi mv_data_table]"]
[bounce page="__UI_BASE__/error"]
[/if-mm]

I can't find a tag refernce for [if-mm] on the icdevgroup.org site using the search however.  I'm not familiar with if-mm or what it's checking for there.

I am using the same user on both dev and prod.
