    If you have backups, just go grab the configure.php files from your backup and compare them against your live site.

    Better yet, just in case whatever that other mess screwed up also touched some of your regular files, why not do a thorough compare of *all* the files on your server against your last good backup from before you toyed with it.
    That's less work than either option you proposed.

    I've already compared my backup config files to what is on the server - same data.

    I'll do the file compare to see if there have been any changes.

    As a last resort, do you believe option 2 will work?
    Thank you,

    Well not knowing what the ZM installer has done to my files or db (unable to find the cause of the problem) I've decided to do the prudent thing and do a complete re-install of my store. Fortunately I have an almost up-to-date backup of my db (only missing 2 tables from 2 recent mod installs). Unfortunately I don't have a current backup of my store. I have backups, just not recent enough. This has taught me to now keep daily backups. Fortunately, though, I do have all files needed to completely bring my store backup, just have to manually do it instead of restoring a backup file. Another good thing, is that I have not yet 'launched' my store. Coming soon tho....

    Lessons learned (1) daily backups (instead of weekly) for both site and db and (2) Stick with ZC - ZC works!!

    BTW, I am no longer curious about ZM.
    Thank you,
