Data Base error HELP!

Thanks Kim, didn't change anything from last night though, so I dont' know why it would break this morning. Here is the pertinent text:

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', 'zen/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'zen/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', 'zen/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'zen/');

and

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/xxxxx/public_html/zen/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/xxxxx/public_html/zen/');

of course, I changed the admin name, but changed it back for the sake of troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Laura

Okay,

Since I couldn't figure out what broke in the first place-these are the steps I took in fixing it. Pretty painless.

1) In host's CPanel, did db backup. Make your config files writeable again.
2) Uploaded zc_install folder from desktop to host (Always keep a pristine copy of original upload files on hand! Has saved my ######## on numerous occasions)
3) typed in www.mywebsite.com/store/zc_install to start installer again (of course, use your webstite's name and location of your store)
4) do a complete install that will OVERRIDE the database; not to worry, you just did a backup, right?
5) All is loved & light afterwards, and all data and customizations are in tact.
6) Remember to delete your installer folder on host, and return your config files to 644 (un-writeable).

Whew~
