Which config file has info in it?

[lat9]

This one, too, doesn't seem to have the correct file-system settings:

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

//the following path is a COMPLETE path to the /logs/ folder eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/logs ... and no trailing slash
define('DIR_FS_LOGS', '.../public_html/bookstore/logs');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/templates/');
define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');
define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'thisisright');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'Iwillnevertell');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'thisisright');

// The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
// For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from: none, database, or file
// If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache
// or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
// ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '.../public_html/bookstore/cache');

Based on the posting for your store-side file, try making the changes highlighted in red:

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../') . '/');
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/');

//the following path is a COMPLETE path to the /logs/ folder eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/logs ... and no trailing slash
define('DIR_FS_LOGS', '/home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/logs');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/templates/');
define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');
define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'thisisright');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'Iwillnevertell');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'thisisright');

All of the changes suggested have been made. I took all the pieces of Dover out of my system and reviewed the base cart to what I had in FTP land and added in some necessary parts (not sure why they got lost). I now have lost the white page to be replaced with the following statement on my admin login:

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

Now on the store page I get the nddbc.html page which states a problem connecting to the database.

so it's now a database connection problem. I think I will try to switch a user ploy

[motherwestwind]

Now the log message states:

[29-Jun-2014 17:09:26 America/Denver] PHP Warning: require_once(includes/languages/english/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/hardwork/includes/languages/english.php on line 635

but I checked and it's there

Have you specified your DIR_FS_CATALOG directory to be

/home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/hardwork/

or

/home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/

[motherwestwind]

Have you specified your DIR_FS_CATALOG directory to be

/home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/hardwork/

or

/home2/nickhyde/public_html/bookstore/

define(DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/bookstore/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/bookstore/');

is this wrong?

[yaritai]

define(DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/bookstore/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/bookstore/');

is this wrong?

Pay close attention to what is being recommended to look at. Its the "FS" part you want NOT the "WS" defines. I think better yet, repost the config files that you have changed with the previous recommendations. This way part of the variables can be eliminated that may be causing the issues.

Ok. Everything is all skewy again with database access now with PHP MyAdmin. I was checking to see if my files were still and now I can't get in to review. Geez luize what's happening?

Panic over, determination setting in. Here are the two config files:

I changed the password and almost can connect to my admin panel as I got this message instead of a white screen WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again. At least it's a start, change is good right?

[lat9]

Yes, it's a start. Now, look in your /logs directory for myDEBUG*.log files that will identify the details of the error. When posting the contents of a file that includes -adm in its name, make sure that you obfuscate the admin-folder name!
