OK, so I've copied a Magento 1.9 site over to a new server. I followed the answers to this to get my site working (instead of it redirecting to the old one).
My problem now is that I can't access the admin panel. Every time I do, I get the following message:
Not Found
The requested URL /admin was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
This makes me think there is something else I need to get working.

Most probably,
mod_rewrite
is not enabled on your server.Enable it and it should work.
If you cannot do that you can try to access the admin via this url
index.php/admin/
.Then go to
System->configuration->web->Search Engines Optimization
and set the field "Use Web Server Rewrites" to "No".The downside is that all your urls will have
index.php
in them as the one above.
