Loading problem?

[freshstart]

Dear all

Newbie here, non coder. I have installed Zen, with a UK template upgrade, which had been working on a test basis until very recently. For some reason, I could not get the Zencart to load the main page, without the use of a separate HTML page, pointing to the catalogue? I never knew why this was a suggested fix for the problem and was not informed how to access the main page of Zencart without it?

Anyway, I removed the HTML page and then could not access my website, but received this message instead.

Warning: main(includes/application_top.php/index.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/index.php on line 26

Warning: main(includes/application_top.php/index.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/index.php on line 26

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/application_top.php/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxx/public_html/xxxx/index.php on line 26

Forgive me if my question has been asked a million times before and that I may have placed my question into the wrong part of the forum. Any and all suggestions regarding how to fix my Zencart would be appreciated. Should you require further information, please let me know

includes/application_top.php/index.php

It's very odd that the "/index.php" is getting appended to that.

What does line 26 of your public_html/xxxxx/index.php file say ? It *should* just say this:

  require('includes/application_top.php');

Who suggested that 'fix'?
Who set up the site for you initially?
Were the symptoms you just described the same symptoms that you were experiencing when the "fix" was suggested?
Who are you hosted with?

Dear DrByte,

Many thanks for your interest and comments thus far. Line 26 as follows;

Load common library stuff
*/
require('includes/application_top.php/');

$language_page_directory = DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/'

Q & A -

I set up the site and was advised to create a HTML page to point to it, since for some reason the website would not open without it? Really, I wanted to just type in the URL and I would be presented with the main page of my Zencart.

I am hosted with K1Z.com.

I am just about to go into the config files to see if there is anything odd in there, however, not being a coder, I will probably miss something. If it helps, I could copy the code here for you to peruse?

Best wishes;
