Upload SQL Patch via phpMyAdmin in MySQL INSTEAD OF Amin-Tools-Install AQL patch ????

[shags38]

did you say you deleted index.php?
You shouldn't be deleting index.php files anywhere unless you know exactly why you're doing that.

I figure that to be good advice - I had backed up just before attempting to install the mod so when Steve suggested deleting index.html if it was in the root (which it wasn't but its cousin was) I figured it would be OK to do as I had the file backed up.

Having said that all is back to where it was but index page won't load if typed in to browser directly whereas it loads from admin or in browser with any page extenstion = jewelleryonlinestore.com.au/ANY EXTENSTION.

In my very amateur status I figure logically it must be somewhere in the string that says 'load this page' ... so whatever files are required to implement that command come under the microscope (index.php, main_page.php, 'auto-loader' files .... and possibly a dozen others ??).

I am trying to do file comparisons to my other site (harmonyballpendants.com) which was 'originally' a copy of jewelleryonlinestore.com.au but then with certain products deleted so it is ostensibly a mirror image of part of the JOS site - any installation of plug-ins mods done to one site is done on the other so maybe I can find some clues during this file comparison process ..... if not then I at least feel good that I am trying something :)

Looking forward to your continued help Doc.

cheers,
Mike

p.s. Host has sorted out the security_mod issue so now I have access to admin/tools/install sql patches (the catalyst to this resultant problem)
