Usually this means that mediawiki detects the new server as not supporting PATH INFO (usually deoends on the combination of server software and which php sapi is in use), so it cannot use the automatic short url setup. In such a case you usually need to setup rewrite rules to make it work, although you can also try adjusting $wgUsePathInfo to override the feature support autodetection if you think path info is really supported.
