Unfortunately my migration started before I got the following migration URL:

How to Move Servers and/or Change Directories

One thing I didn't do was set chmod 777 /ppost -R before archiving the vhost.

Now that I have the files on the new host, they owner and group is root. Perms are not 777 for the ppost directory + sub directories. Should I do:

chmod 777 ../ppost -R

Don't want to do this without checking for fears of security issues.

To clarify:
- I've changed paths in config files to match new vhost.
- I've updated the DB login/password to match new DB.
- I've verified DB access using that login/pass
- When I click on the forum link to PPost, I get a blank screen. So I can't view or make any changes via the PPost admin page.
