Help! Lost my index.php

All I tried to do was remove the text that says "Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution", and so i replaced the file and now when I go to the site, NOTHING shows up....what did I do wrong? Thanks

Ne,
Reload the original file index.php so the site will load correctly.

1. Did you leave the single quotes between the wording
2. define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.');
3. Ex:
4. define('HEADING_TITLE', '');

Well, from my experience here in the forum, I'd say (without seeing) that it's a problem with the quotes......make sure that you still have 2 '' left after deleting all the text, and not just one '.

Hope this helps.

If it's live, post the URL. If we can see, we can help more in most cases.

How do I find the original file, can someone send it to me, my husband installed all this for me and he is out of town...boo hoo.
Thanks for the help!

Here is what I have now:
