not sure where to begin...

i broke something on my 1.3.9 upgrade and i don't know where to begin to look for the problem. i replaced the contents of define_main_page.php in my custom template folder with the original code from the classic template, but i'm still seeing no main content, right column or footer. here's a screenshot.

the last few lines of the source code are:

    <td valign="top">
<!-- bof  breadcrumb -->
    <div id="navBreadCrumb">  <a href="http://localhost:8888/zcdev139h/">Home</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;
Department
</div>
<!-- eof breadcrumb -->


<!-- bof upload alerts -->
<!-- eof upload alerts -->

where do i start?

If you can, restore your site back to the older version and try again.

i've also now restored the contents of tpl_main_page.php to the 1.3.9h code. i'm out of ideas.

well, i'm upgrading to 1.3.9h from 1.3.8a. i've been merging my files and trying to fix some bad errors i'd made along the way of the first install. i'd rather not throw the baby out with the bathwater and start again, just trying to figure out what file to look in to find the unclosed tag or whatever might be causing the rest of the page to be truncated.

it's not category_row.php either... *sigh*

Do you have any other define pages set up in your includes/languages/english/html_includes/your_custom_template ?
And are they working?

Is your custom template folder there named exactly as it is in
includes/templates/your_custom_template?
