Help with trying to move existing site to a new [solved]

I am trying to move an existing site to a new domain.
I am moving from domain.co.uk to domain.co

I have backed up files and database from shell. moved files to new domain location, and created a new database, imported the DB backup, then changed config.php on the new site to point everything to the new domain and the relative file paths, and the new database credentials.

When I run up the new site, it just displays the logo and a couple of menu items, then freezes.

Are there any other steps I should be following when moving a site?

clear the cache and of course before moving check that the minimal requirements for cmsms are met on the new host.

thanks for the quick replies.
I was litterally just having a better look now, and I noticed it stopped right before a global content block was called.
I went into that, it was just adsense, I deleted the contents of the block, saved, and it all worked.
Then I added the content back into the global content block and it all worked.

Maybe that cleared some cahce in some way??
