Critical help needed!

[gamenet]

Last night i was playing around with the configure.php file. and i do not know what happened. My whole website is broken. it looks like somethign to do with the css or something. www.gamenet.net.au

I made a copy of the good configure.php file and once it had stuffed up i replaced it. however this did nothing.

I am also not able to get into /admin to restore a backup!

I get this message from zencart

You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

1. This is your first time using Zen Cart™ and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, you will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).

2. Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
See the Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart™ website for assistance.

Not sure if what happened to me is the same as you, but when I first started on Zen Cart, I kept getting blank pages after modifying php files. Turns out, the copying and pasting I was doing (Notepad and Notepad++) was somehow dropping the line breaks and carriage returns (or supplanting them with the so-called unknown character that looks like a rectangle), so w/ code jammed up against the php command, the pages were breaking. It is still happening when I copy and paste w/ php files, but at least I know what's breaking the pages and can fix it.
