change in c panel password causing all these problems

[bamboleo]

I'm of course having issues.

I had problems setting up free templates via the PicAFlor-Azul website. Anne was gracious enough to set it up for a small fee. I gave her username/password info to c panel to set up. Was ready to go yesterday. Saw it looked great as advertised.

Then I change my c panel password and all h... goes loose. My page will not come up and I can't get into my admin area. Main Page url showed this:



I re-do password for my sql database (to old password, don't know why or if it changed) and now my admin is working, but now the Main Page is blank http://patioworldonline.com/catalog/

Now Anne looked again and emailed me fatal error:

[09-Sep-2012 03:27:55] PHP Fatal error: require() [<a
href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required
'DIR_WS_TEMPLATEStemplate_default/common/html_header.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php:/usr/share/pear') in
/home1/patiowor/public_html/catalog/index.php on line 43

This means that your missing the html_header.php file in the
template_default/common directory. It looks like you have accidentally
deleted some files? I would start by replacing this file with the one
from the zen cart download zip file.

Well I looked in template_default/common directory and the html_header.php is still there. Just for the heck of it I uploaded it again with the zen cart download zip file...nothing.

So could it be that a c panel password change from my host could of caused all these problems. All my other pages are ok, just my "store" that I'm trying to create. The template worked fine until I changed my password. I did not even touch or delete any files. Serious headache. Thanks for any input....

first ,if you changed your host's database's password,you should also change the password at "includes/configure.php" and "admin/includes/configure.php"
second,"Failed opening required
'DIR_WS_TEMPLATEStemplate_default/common/html_header.php" it seems that,your "DIR_WS_TEMPLATES" 's value was set wrong at "includes/configure.php" ,not because of missing file html_header.php.

I think I found the problem. Both my includes/configure.php file and admin/includes/configure.php were exactly the same. The php code for both was for the admin. Any way to get the "store" php for my site without having to start over. I found the "store" php script but leads me to believe that I have to define ALL the pathways where there is /n. Correct? I started, but not sure I'm doing correctly. See below:

Is there an easier way to go about it or do I erase everything and start from scratch or should I try to fill in all these pathways where there is "\n"? I have no idea how this happened?

Thanks,

you can get these two files from other zencart website as they are the same,and modify them,
or use the following two to modify.
includes/dist-configure.php and admin/includes/dist-configure.php
