Problem with server move

I had a whole nice setup on my old server, and I moved my account with cpanel to my new server. All went well, or what I thought. the mySQL moved over fine, and all the files except when I try to access the shop I get this.

Not Found
The requested URL /shop/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.


why is it trying to install itself when its already installed?

If Zen Cart cannot read the configure.php file or finds default settings in it, or finds invalid data in it (ie: cannot connect to database using the settings therein), then it assumes that it hasn't been installed and attempts to load the installer.

Check that your 2 configure.php files are readable and that they contain correct information for URLs, file paths (DIR_FS_CATALOG, etc, DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE, etc).

Amazing, actually I used that fix cache key, and it works!!

I tried the 'fix cache key' but can't get it running...

How did you do that ?

Thanks, Fred

I just followed the directions, uploaded it to the main folder, ran it, and it fixed it.

You really should plan to upgrade to a newer version sometime ;)
That SQL message tells me you're using old code :blush:

That would be on my to do list after I finish the move.
