Please go easy on me because I mention Go Daddy (I'm making the most of the resources I have available to me at the moment and if you get it set up right...grid & linux environment...they have been ok. And OCCASIONALLY you get a tech that seems to know a little bit)

Situation:
I was building our ZC1.3.9h site on another GD account. It is set up on a Linux server / Grid environment. Things worked fine.

Now I am trying to transfer everything to our live site. It is currently a windows platform (which I'm thinking is not a cause for my problem) I need to stay on the window platform until i confirm everything is set up because our current site uses a MSSQL d-base that is not supported in a Linux environment.

I moved all my files, exported d-base, and imported. System was broke. I did a GD one-click install in a sub-directory, and that one worked. I then pointed my manual installation to the GD one-click database and my install now works (admin and front end resolves). Point back to mine and nothing. The tables in GD one-click have a prefix of zen_ (and yes i updated the configure.php file accordingly for my scenarios). I later imported my tables (which have no prefix) into the GD d-base. My tables do not allow the page to resolve yet the GD install tables do? Any thoughts on what could be happening to make a simple export import not work? I did follow the instructions posted elsewhere in Zen-Cart regarding the options to click when exporting. I'd like to keep my format because the configure file states that the preference is without a prefix.

Thanks
