Ok,

I've never seen it like that before. Sorry bout that.

alhakeem2001, take a look at the link Dr.Byte put in there and that should lead you to a solution.

Stop banging your head on the wall. You'll soon be seeing double code.

OK, is there a way now to re-install the ZC again without deleting the files from the server ?

[birdoasis]

Ok, what you want to do is copy the existing files to a folder, call it mybackup or something like that.

Unzip the files for a fresh install on your harddrive and copy the zcinstall folder to your store's directory. That folder might still be there if you haven't deleted it from the first installation.

by running the install script you'll be replacing the files anyway. Just so you know why you want to backup your existing files.

Also if you've made any changes to the payment modules make sure you write those down.

Have you added products to the database? If so you'll want to back the database up as well.

What is the actual problem? Maybe we can avoid a reinstall.

It's too late now as I asked the server to clean up everything and I will do it again using the old way I installed my ZC for the first time " One click to Install "..

Thanks any

OK, I'm going to give it one more try and install a fresh version of the ZC 1.3.8! how can I avoid the previous problem! by the way , I'm uploading the files to the server using the build-in FTP within the dreamweaver ! would that be the reason for that problem? And one more thing for those who asked me to remove "com" from /arab-broker.com/ that's impossible because this is supposed to be my "host directory" so have to kept intact .

I don't recommend mass-uploading using Dreamweaver. It's great for 1 or 2 files at a time, but not mass folders.
FileZilla handles multiple folders very well, and reliably detects failed uploads and lets you retry those as needed, etc.

[alhakeem2001]

OK, I uploaded the ZC 1.3.8 with filezilla and while I am installing the ZC I came to a page with this note :

X PHP session.use _trans_sid = ON Click here for more info
and when I clicked on "click here...." I came to this :

The session.use_trans_sid setting in your server's PHP.INI file is set to ON.

This could potentially cause you some problems with session handling and possibly even security concerns.

You can work around this by setting an .htaccess parameter such as described here: http://www.olate.com/articles/252, or you could disable it in your PHP.INI if you have access to it.

For more information on the security risks it imposes, see: http://shh.thathost.com/secadv/2003-05-11-php.txt.

(You may have to create the .htaccess file if you don't already have one.)

what should I do now, I think I'm following the same path to the previous problem with the .htaccess , as I had quick look to the uploaded folders I discovered that none of the .htaccess has been uploaded to the server !! please help.
