Attempting to restore site - I'm halfway there --? help?

Hi there,

I'm trying not to freak out.. I was happily making changes to my Zen Cart site and everything broke (aka site disappeared) when I transferred my english.php file to includes/languages/ directory after removing a portion of the footer. No problem, I had a backup file and used that one to get the changes back to where they were. Still broken.

I deleted and uploaded the entire store from my local backup to the server.. The site is back mostly, but it looks like this:
http://www.reusies.com/store/

Can anyone please help me diagnose what I need to do? It appears I didn't restore the mysql database properly, so that might be the only issue..

I'd be so grateful if someone can help!

There's no problem that I can see with your database. What appears to be missing (or located in the wrong place) is your language files. What is the structure of your includes/languages folder?

I'd check the english.php file in languages/mother_earth and replace it with the default (from a new Zencart zip file, if necessary) to see if that fixes the problem.

Hi stevesh,

Thanks so much for that suggestion! Seems so simple.. That was the culprit file, and I just replaced it with a fresh download. Thanks muchos!!
