From the message that you posted:

Your file / includes / configure.php and / or / admin / includes / configure.php contains configuration information invalid path and / or a misconfiguration of the database.
If you recently edit your configure.php files, or perhaps moved your site to a different directory or server, then you need to review and update your configuration.
Read the FAQ and online tutorials on the site Zen Cart ™ for assistance.
Additional Information: includes / configure.php file contents invalid. ie: DIR_FS_CATALOG not valid or not set

I've highlighted the "Additional information" section, which says that your DIR_FS_CATALOG value needs 'adjustment'.

Actually my bad - looking at what I earlier posted above (...under time pressure...)

The correct procedure for moving a site to another server:

It's not possible to make only a backup and restore of entire account on Cpanel?

I've see, but I don't know it's false...

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
  //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/~digiscr2/shop/');

  define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/~digiscr2/shop/cache');

// EOF 

Maybe I just need some sleep, but these two lines seem bad to me... That's not a valid path...

Try changing those lines to:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/digiscr2/public_html/'); 

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/digiscr2/public_html/'); 

Also, check and make sure your database is named the same way (in your NEW cPanel, go to MySQL Databases and see if you have a database named digiscr2_shop). It should be there, but check anyway.

If I make that, I have a blank page...

Yes the database is correct...

:-(

It's not possible to make only a backup and restore of entire account on Cpanel?

Yes, as long as your domain-name is already pointed to the new cPanel server AND your PHP/MySQL/Apache versions are compatible.


You can build the correct configure.php files for your new site by running zc_install and choosing "Install". This will create new configure.php files which will work on your server ... and will wipe out the database. Then restore the database from backup again.

OK, so, just to make things clear for everyone else... In the spirit of ZC community, I've offered the OP to take a quick look at his files since stuff like this are usually incredibly simple to fix.

OP's site is using some commercial modules (ionCube encrypted) and are probably locked to a domain which in this case was changed. No error logs were created, just a blank page. After completely removing the encrypted modules from the system, site is working just fine.
The issue has nothing to do with Zen Cart or with changing servers, but instead with using encrypted modules and changing domain name.

So, a word of advice for anyone else out there wanting to use encrypted commercial modules: first of all, be prepared for issues. And second - in case of any issues, you're limited to support from the company you've purchased your modules from...

A word of advice for me: next time you offer free help, try not spending 5 hours on it...
