Used to work, now I'm getting "Page Not Found."

Version 1.3.9d
Linux--Hostgator

My cart was working just yesterday. This morning I set up my product as a download, pdf, which seemed to go well.

The radio button displayed in the cart, and all was well.

I saved create_account.php to another directory just in case. Then I edited the create_account.php file because I don't give discounts or anything. I removed all of the code that offered discounts.

I went out and put my product in the cart, filled in the form to create a new account, and clicked the submit button. I got the "Page Not Found" error.

So, I went back to the saved, unedited create_account.php, put it back in the english directory, and tried again.

I still get the "Page not found" error.

I know that somewhere the path information is probably messed up, but I don't know where or how. I didn't mess with directory paths.

Any ideas?

More info:

I am getting the #500 page not found message.

I logged in as an existing customer, and it went to the order confirmation page just fine. I know this is a simple fix. I just don't know where to go to fix it. Please help!

Backups are handy. Failing that, compare against original files.

Thanks for the help. I didn't know about the log files.

The problem was that when I copied the original create_account file back into /english/, I just renamed the messed up version to createch_account (ch for changed), thinking it would be there if I needed to compare or something.

ZenCart, rather than use the original that I put back in the folder, continued to use the one I renamed, even though the name was changed!!

The error log said, "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mnjones/public_html/shop/includes/languages/english/create_accountch.php on line 30"

Amazing.



Thanks again, mnjones
