    Default Site migration - PLEASE HELP!!

    I am moving our Zen Cart (v.1.3.8a) from our previous host to our new host. I did exactly what the forum post said:

    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=100

    However the biggest problem I have is the transferred site is giving me a missing Table error. You can see it here:

    http://www.shotgunsportsmagazine.com/store

    Now, the table it is referring is missing, however the cart works fine on the old site:

    http://shotgunsportsmagazine.com.xohost.com/store

    I tried to create the missing table, hoping the product descriptions would magically appear, but they didn't. I have no idea why the old site has product descriptions and everything works when it really shouldn't. I have been working on this for several days, scoured the forum for a solution as well as the FAQs and am at a total loss. I have very little expertise when it comes to mySQL but have figured out how to access the old database and site without transferring the DNS back and forth.

    I just need to know where the product descriptions are coming from and how I can fix this new transferred site. It appears everything else should be fine, but if I have to code back in all the descriptions, that will be annoying, to say the least. Thank you.

    Check your configure.php files for a db prefix
    Check you old configs for what it might have been
    check your DB for what prefix exists

    Why isn't your new host engaged in this?

    It has nothing to do with the prefix, because I am able to access the other database I set up just fine. It is so weird that the other site works just fine with the exact same database, but nowhere on the old database can I find where the product descriptions are stored. This is the most perplexing thing I have ever dealt with. I just need a point in some direction on where to look for the product descriptions, then maybe I can work backwards.

    The new host isn't involved because I don't think they would be of any help, quite honestly.

    It would probably just be in my best interest to repopulate the store from scratch. I am going to attempt the Easy Populate add-on and hope that works. Thanks anyway.
