Problem with Moving Zen (Followed the Help Desk instruction)

I recently tried to move a zen cart installation to an entirely new server with a new url.

I edited both configuration pages and fixed the sessions via sql, yet now when I head to the new URL the page says:

'Not Found
The requested URL /zc_install/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. '

Any suggestions? I am not looking to re-install Zen, just move the existing installation over, yet it seems to think it is a fresh copy?

Thanks, Alex

Did you rename or delete the /zc_install at some point?

If missing, reload from the same version that your site is ... if upgrading, reload the whole directory as it sounds like you have a bad file or corrupt file ...

The ship was functional and installed on another domain, so I deleted the zc_install folder.

Do I need to actually re-install zen again? I thouhgt it could just be moed?

Thanks, Alex

All it seems to want to do is re-direct to the install non stop.

Re: Problem with Moving Zen (Followed the Help Desk instruction)

These are incorrect:

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/pub/');
define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . '/home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/uploads/');
define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);
define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/email/');

You shouldn't have /home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/ in them... its only the last part you need. DIR_FS_CATALOG which you defined here:

// * 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/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/');

Fills in the paths up to that point for you.. so with the way you've defined it its looking for e-mail templates in /home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic//home2/badbubba/public_html/headsonic/email/

So.. to fix it change it to this:

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
  define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');
  define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);
  define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');

Re: Problem with Moving Zen (Followed the Help Desk instruction)

Thanks for picking that up.

Have fixed this in includes and admin/includes manually, www.headsonic.com still tries to re-direct to zc_install for some reason.

I am using an existing database from an old site, the samefiles (transferred with flashfxp) and I did fix the sessions thing in mysql.

Re: Problem with Moving Zen (Followed the Help Desk instruction)

Are you looking at the file:
/admin/includes/configure.php

on the server?

Look at your database in phpMyAdmin ...

Does the database name, username and password match what you have in the /admin/includes/configure.php on the server?

Do the table names have the prefixes of:
zen_

Check the file, on the server, for:
/includes/configure.php

Are the settings correct for the paths, database, username and password?

Re: Problem with Moving Zen (Followed the Help Desk instruction)

the only other things i can think of are make sure 100% that the path you have placed is the correct one. I prefer to use a PHP script to find the path of a file for me so i can reference is later. Instructions can be found here: http://www.joejoomla.com/wiki/index.php?title=JoeJoomla_Wiki:Finding_The_Absolute_Path

If that doesn't work.. upload the zc_install folder and just run through the steps

Re: Problem with Moving Zen (Followed the Help Desk instruction)

Very Strange - moved it to a different server and it instantly worked. Just need to iron out the bugs now.

-Thanks to all.
