Installing Cart on Other URL

I have a couple of websites and need to copy my already functioning zencart website to 3 other sites, all with a different URL and different information, language and options. I made a backup of my database, installed Zencart to the second URL and used the backup to overwrite the basic install information. I adjusted the configure.php files to the correct website URL but it just doesn't work. Help! :blink:

Re: Installing Cart on Other URL

I adjusted the configure.php files to the correct website URL
also have to ensure correct database settings/password are changed
to reflect duplicate web site.

Re: Installing Cart on Other URL

okay so i followed all steps in the FAQ about putting my site on another server (https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=100)... now i can get into the admin area (without any layout that i have on the other site) but the site itself wont work... http://www.pentagramz.nl/
the site that i copied it from still works (good thing too or i would not make any money), but the new site just wont work
HELP PLEASE!!! :cry:

Re: Installing Cart on Other URL

Actually mate, you need to check the two files:

includes/configure.php

and

admin/includes/configure.php

The paths are not set correctly there on your store.

I can fix that for you if you need!

Re: Installing Cart on Other URL

Actually, mate, incorrect configure entries won't cause a permissions error.

Trolling for business here is frowned upon.

Re: Installing Cart on Other URL

I get
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/home/web/snl177423/index.php on line 26
which sounds like you have it installed in a subfolder (not familiar with how your host's filepaths are set up). Are you sure you have all of the filepaths set correctly?

Re: Installing Cart on Other URL

Yeah I just removed everything I had on there cuz it was annoying me since I kept getting stupid error messages. It was in the right folder, but stuff just kept going wrong.
So I just installed it clean on the other URL and will start all over again. And now my WORKING website seems to have patching issues... So now THAT one doesnt work either...
I am SO gonna toss my laptop out the window if this keeps happening. Any suggestions on the patching issues? Is that a server-side problem? I already wrote them, but knowing them I wont hear back from them til next week and Im losing customers this way!!!
