Database Quirky ... Help Please!

Hello,

I've been running Zen Cart 1.3.9 for a while and recently upgraded to 1.5.0. I've kept diligent backups of my files and databases, but recently had to restore the entire store. When I copied my files back to the server (database remained untouched) it kept giving me the screen that you get when you first install that says you have to run the zc_install. I figured I'll just go with a clean install and hook that to my database.

So, I reinstalled 1.5.0 from scratch and copied my template over. Got everything up and running just fine. All my products display on the website ... HOWEVER, none of my products or even their categories are in the back-end! How in the world do I fix that!??

Thanks so much for your help!

Re: Database Quirky ... Help Please!

Your configure.php files probably point to a different DB_PREFIX than what your original store used, so now your store is looking at the wrong set of tables in the database.

No, that wasn't it, but it lead me to the actual problem. I completely forgot to change the DB_DATABASE back to the correct DB under the /admin/includes/configure.php. Such a silly error!! Thanks a bunch!
