    Don't go editing your configure.php files by hand. Let zc_install build the correct contents *for* you: do a fresh NEW install of an EMPTY site, and then test it. And THEN put your real site's files onto the new server (except let it keep the newly-created configure.php files)

    The exact procedure you should follow is outlined here: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...fferent-server

    Thank you

    The only think is in my head my domain for my new account is temporally new.mysite.com it's a new account and not a subdomain...

    will be better to get a new domain mysite.net? to do the test....because my other site still live mysite.com

    After I get it to work I think will be a lot easier to change configure..

    Thank you

    Install it so that it works *now*. And then when your URL changes later, you can alter the HTTP_SERVER setting to put your real domain on it.

    You want to let zc_install calculate all the paths in all the other settings to suit your new server.
