Symlink problem?

Hello.
im trying to make my Magento site work .. is has been moved from another host to new VPS..
My front page loads but every other links including admin display 404 file not found. after researching the net , it seems to be issue with symlink.
as per requested , added Options FollowSymLinks inside <Direcotry></Direcotry> in my Vhost and rebooted the server , and still not working .
vhost section looks like this
<Directory "/home/USERNAME/public_html">
Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
</Directory>
I am totally at lost and have no other ideas at where to look . I hope someone can help me out  thanks

solved.
was missing magento main htaccess in the root .
