The thing that you need to do is to fix a ton of paths that are hard 
wired into frontier from the old install.  The best thing to do is to 
replace all the roots with your other ones then jump to the user 
table and do a find and replace for your old path and new path (to 
the frontier app)  Places to make sure get switched here are the 
user.databases and the user.rootupdates then do the same thing for 
config.root and members.root and prefs.root (I don't think there is 
anything in there but replace it none the less) then do the same 
thing for the manilaWebsites.root then quit and restart frontier. 
See if all the roots open and then try to hit the site.
