A local install isn't going to report any server variables, it'd all be of the local install... Whereas a new install on the existing server should report all variables needed for your existing install via the new config.inc.php.
You'd think your host's documentation (generally on a FAQ or Support system on their main site) would have information on proper paths for scripts as well on the new cloud platform.
Honestly, it worked before the move, they should be working with you to ensure it works with their new configurations...
