Using the FAQ titled: "I want to move my Zen Cart installation to another host or a different server" I went through the process as closely as I could understand, and got a home page with almost but not entirely nothing of my preexisting site page.

My preexisting site installed on shared hosting worked perfectly through the Paypal process and the zc post-payment page. Then, for reasons I could not trace, it began crashing at the login step immediately before entering the purchase process. The error appearing in the cache file was that the site had exceeded it PHP memory allotment. I added code to trace the errors source, thinking there was a loop, but the trace ended innocuously in the default-template arena of tpl_box_default_left, tpl_columnar_display, and tpl_whats_new. I had previously removed the "featured" and "new" left column displays because they aren't appropriate to the site in its current state. However, those changes appeared correctly on the home page. The site crashed at the login process, with PHP demanding 20mg of memory more than my hosting account allowed. So I decided that I couldn't pursue the crash's cause further without providing that extra 20mg of PHP memory.

Anyway, I'll go through the list of posting protocols one by one, but it will take me awhile. Not tomorrow or the next day probably. I have other responsibilities absorbing my time.
So, based on that... Please advise on the ZC version and the PHp version... It is possible that you were/are chasing your tail on this. There are some base compatibilities of ZC and a knownissue with one combination.
