migrate zen cart store from one web server to another

Hi,

I'm moving my Zen Cart store from testing server to the live server. I've used few contributions like "Image Handler" and Zone Table Rate etc. I've also customized it for extra side boxes and additional products fields.

I exported and imported the database Using the PHYMyAdmin on old and new servers respectively.

Then I simply FTP all the files on the new server.

Updated the config files for front end and admin end correctly on the new server.

This used to work fine for osCommerce stores, unfortunately the same approach didn't work for this Zen Cart one.

For Store front end, nothing appears and
for Admin an error occurs:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/anilahla/public_html/pcmbtoday/includes/classes/class.smtp.php on line 108

Please suggest me a right procedure to move the store from one web server to another. Both are Linux, with PHP 5.x and MySQL 5.x

On the new server a fresh installation of Zen Cart works great.

Thanks and Regards

Re: migrate zen cart store from one web server to another

I got the solution, the procedure I followed is correct, all we need to do is fix the cache directory by using the following contribution:
