Moving Zen-Cart to a new server/hosting company

[lhutzley]

Hello,

I am in the midst of transferring my zen-cart site from one host to another. I am using a temporary IP address as url until I am sure the site is working and can transfer over the DNS to the new hosting site.
I have installed zen-cart 1.3.8 and transferred all the files over, I also have my new phpmyadmin set up and successfully imported the "old" database.

When checking the website on the new server, the home page won't fully load. I am able to access the admin page and all the files are there.
I have checked the configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files they are correct.

What files would I check and edit to make the homepage load fully.
The ip address to get to the site is: http://67.20.115.68

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going crazy trying to figure it out. The web address where the site is currently hosted is www.swdiesel.com so you can see what is going on.

Thank you again

Lauren

The 2 sites appear to be identical from my location, but you need some SERIOUS optimization - the total page size is: 1176426 bytes - That is over 1 megabyte! You know how long that takes to open on a slow internet connection?

Thank you for taking the time and looking. What would be the best way to go about optimizing???

All help and tips are greatly appreciated

What would be the best way to go about optimizing???

Start with your images - - they are too large in bytes for their size
browser Screen resolution is max 72px per inch
Many of yours are 10K plus where they nedd only be 1-2K

ONE LAST THING...
NONE OF THE "LINKS" ON THE HOME PAGE ARE WORKING. MAYBE I MISSED WHICH FILE TO EDIT TO MAKE SURE THEY ALL WORK. WHEN I CLICK ON ANY OF THE CATEGORIES IT CAN'T FIND THE PAGES, WHEN I TRIED TO USE THE VEHICLE SELECTOR NOTHING IS COMING UP AND THE IMPORTANT LINKS DON'T LINK. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHICH FILES TO CHECK.

THANK YOU FOR THE PATIENCE AND ALL THE HELP

Tried the first 2 and did not see a problem

[lhutzley]

Kobra, Thank you for looking, I am not sure which two you tried. But when I try to click any of the products or use vehicle selector I am being sent to yahoo to search for the page. This happens when I am trying to use my side box links my TOC links but they all show up in my admin page.

The url is http://67.20.115.68

I am so lost.

Thank you for your time and help!!

Do you clear your browser cache before each test?

[lhutzley]

Yes I have been clearing the cache. That was the first thing I tried, I am a cache clearing crazy person.
