I returned both these files as close to how they were originally as I could; was basically undoing changes as soon as I saw what didn't work.

Actually the full path was originally written as: /home/buzzardr/public_html/tgadmin/shop/

The actual path appears to be more like:
/home/buzzardr/public_html/tgadmin/public_html/shop/

I did try this but still got the same errors. So then I truncated the path to simply /home/tgadmin/public_html/shop/ and got fewer errors - but that's probably because I diminished accessibility to my site.

buzzardr administers tgadmin. In the old account the path was just like this. In the new account I'm not certain how buzzardr ties to tgadmin. My new file structure doesn't show this - everything is separate.

I really appreciate the help I'm getting here - my brain is out of practice for this kind of thinking.

Okay.

I have compared the buzzardr config files that work, to the tgadmin config files that do not.

I have compared the config files from the old server that were working, to the new config files that, again, do not work.

I have made adjustments per these comparisons. The store still doesn't work.

As I see it now my options are to:

Try running a database repair, which is a little scary.

Try moving the Shop folder directly into the tgadmin home folder, where it was on the old server.

Reinstall the whole store and run a whole new gamut of issues.

Upgrade to v. 1.3.8a and, again, deal with a whole new group of problems.

They say whatever you are doing at midnight on New Year's is what you will be doing for the rest of the year. I don't mind that I'm working, that's a good thing. But I really would like to be successful before I give it up and go to bed.

I will therefore keep working.

I have now learned to use the code editor to quickly find lines cited in error messages. I'm very excited.

Apparently this line in shop/includes/application_top.php is exceedingly offensive:

if (!is_dir(DIR_FS_CATALOG.'/includes/classes')) header('location: zc_install/index.php');

I will keep digging.

brodybro1, you're having such a good conversation with yourself I almost hate to barge in. :smile:

In both your 'config' files, change the following:

- from
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/tgadmin/public_html/shop/cache');

?>


- to
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/tgadmin/public_html/shop/cache');

?>


See what happens.

LMAO! Thank the Gods, I thought I would never shut up.

This looks almost promising -

In shop I now get:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/tgadmin/public_html/shop/includes/classes/class.smtp.php:2019) in /home/tgadmin/public_html/shop/includes/init_includes/init_database.php on line 57


In admin I now get this message:

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[db_cache table]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.


I already went looking in the files for spaces in the php coding but maybe I missed something? :blink:

I keep seeing references to 'zc_install/index.php' in the lines of code referenced by the error messages. Is this significant to the problem at hand?

Going to try a database repair... someone else had the "Cannot modify header information" error and I also have the DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED so...

*Nope, no difference.

NEXT -

Every place where zc_install/index.php is referenced is inside a safety condition clause that will only send you to zc_install if the safety check fails.

Common causes of the failures are:
- incomplete uploads of all the files on your site (did your FTP upload fail on anything? are you SURE?)
- incomplete configure.php files
- incorrect contents in your configure.php files
- incorrect settings for accessing your database ... in the configure.php files.

Here's an FAQ on the move process: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=100

You might need to do a comparison of what you uploaded vs what you attempted to upload (by re-downloading it to another folder, and comparing the folders): http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Obscure_Issues

And you will need to be sure your configure.php files are correct.
One way to get correct configure.php files for the new server is to do a FRESH install on the new server, preserve the generated configure.php files, and then import your database again ... as explained in the FAQ.

:frusty:

As much as I'm enjoying navigating the labyrinth it's probably best if I just start over. I really wanted to win this one but you're right.

Tomorrow I will back up my databases and shop, and do a fresh install. Compare the configure.php files so I can learn what a Proper configure.php file looks like. It'll just Work if I do that.

Thanks for all the help, I'm learning it. And I'll make another donation when I get paid again, for sure.

Happy New Year - Brody
