error admin Warning: require(includes/application_top.php

[unusualfinds]

Hi,
I hope i went to right section. I find this site confusing but it is probally just me. I downloaded the canada post shipping module and
thought i was to put it in "admin to admin-includes to includes etc. but when i went to view my webpage i updated the template then checked the shipping module to see if it was there and it was not so i deleted each file and when i went to go back to my zc_admin i have error messages and cannot get it? my error messages are
Warning: require(includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rainb342/public_html/zc_admin/index.php on line 10

Warning: require(includes/application_top.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rainb342/public_html/zc_admin/index.php on line 10

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rainb342/public_html/zc_admin/index.php on line 10

i suppose i deleted the wrong file and probally have to start from scratch agin with reloading my zencart from fatatico but wanted to check first if I could get help thanks rainbowfire.ca

Those error messages are telling you that your /admin/includes/application_top.php file is missing from the server.
Why did you delete that?
Or why did you perhaps delete the entire /admin/includes/ folder?

1. Login to your FTP
2. Fix whatever files are missing.

thats easy for you :) i do not know know how to fix it. i suppose i open my includes file and add some code to line 10? not sure what to add?

Your problem has nothing to do with "line 10". You're looking at the end of the error message, instead of the beginning of the message. The beginning is telling you what the problem is, and the end of the message is telling you what part of the code discovered the problem.


A clean fresh install of Zen Cart puts all the required files in the right places.

Apparently you've done something to delete some of those files, or you've dragged-and-dropped them into some other folder where they don't belong.

I suggest your first approach should be to put back whatever files you've deleted or dragged to the wrong place.
