(Failing to) set up a test site Concrete 5.5.1

Permalink
I'm trying to set up a test copy of a working Concrete 5 website, and can't seem to get it to display, although I have followed the 'moving a site' guide.

The live site is http://www.dartmooraccommodation.co.uk/,... the test location which is causing the problems is http://datest.clareassoc.com/
Both have Concrete 5.5.1

Live site has PHP Version 5.3.28
Test site has PHP 5.4.28

I copied all the files in the webspace of the live site (minus files/cache and files/tmp) to the test server.
I copied the MySQL database to the test server.
I changed the database connection details and the base URL in config/site.php to connect to my copied test database.

I got a pile of php Strict Standards and Warnings. I tried hiding those using .htaccess, but then all I could see was 'internal server error'.

I deleted the copy of concrete5.5.1 that was in the updates directory, downloaded a fresh copy of it and uploaded that, as suggested in the 'moving' guide.

Any ideas on what else I should try to get this site working on the test server? I am intending to update to a newer version of Concrete, but I was hoping to do that on the test site first before doing it in public.
