    Default Understanding Directory Tree

    Understanding the rhyme and reason of the directory tree of our install continues to be an overwhelming challenge for me.
    I need to look at the code for a previous version of this page http://www.natural-beef.com/index.ph...age=page&id=15 in my backed up files. I have searched in vain through the folders to find it.
    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    If I understand you correct, then you will not find what you are looking for in the files of your store, but the page content can be found in your database assuming you have a backup from the time in question?

    To clarify, I am looking for the individual pages designed with ezpages. If you look at our site www.natural-beef.com you see several tabs at the top. I want to find those individual pages in the directory not through the admin login. What folder would they be in? I assumed I would find them in includes-templates-mysitename.

    Thanks for the reply. At first I did not understand your answer, then I found this post, https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....ges-work/page2 and discovered that ez-pages are not stored like define pages. So, when I backed up the site is the database included or is that a separate back up process...??

    Depends how you created your backup?
    Did you do it via your cpanel (or similar) hosting tool? If soyou may have done a 'full' backup, this could include the database. But you'll need to advise how you generated your backup.

    I did backup through the cpanel. Not sure if I did a full backup or not, its been over a year. What I burned to cd is a file named www. That is all I find on my pc as well. Looking through the cpanel it looks as what I may have done is just the Download a Home Directory Backup and not the Download a MySQL Database Backup. So...am I S.O.L.?

    Thank you again for the information. Nope...no such file. I will do another back up and make sure this gets included.
    I was able to resolve my issue without the file, but who knows about next time...
    Again, your time is greatly appreciated.
