I was ready to release a site to the public (and a financial contribution to the ZC organization) when I realized that some change I had made was causing PHP memory to exceed its allotment in a shared hosting environment. Therefore, I'm having to reinstall on shared server. I've tried making the reinstall by changing the configure files relative to a new database and changing the domain's physical path. That works when moving between domains in a single hosting account in a shared hosting environment. That doesn't work when reinstalling on a shared server. I'm required to use the
www.domain_name/zc_install technique. The problem is that there's a preexisting admin directory that's connected to a vastly changed set of files elsewhere. That admin directory's name was changed on the original installation, as advised. However, after that initial installation I deleted the zc_install folder. So I immediately have two questions.
(1) Can I use the zc_install folder on an archival copy of the initial install (the archival zc_install folder was renamed, so my re-use of it presumes its renaming)? In other words can I copy that (archival) folder to the root folder (of the new install) so that the
www.domain_name/zc_install has a folder to find?
(2) The manual install generates a new admin folder, which can only occur because the preexisting admin folder was renamed after the initial install. Before commencing the new install, what should I do with that preexisting admin folder to retain its connections to all other files?
