Please help major problems after moving to new server

Ok, I am having major problems since the move from :censored:GoDaddy to Bluehost. :frusty:As most should know by now i am all new to this so please keep it simple for me please....
After the move none of the files would work. I found a tech that at bluehost who helped me get it to where it is now but we had to use includes folder from https://www.majikalpath.com on https://www.leatherparlor.com to even get the site visible. Can someone please take a look at https://www.leatherparlor.com and help me get all this messed straighten out... I am using Zencart 1.3.9g.... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :cry:

Re: Please help major problems after moving to new server

Well, the browser strapline does describe the site as "Majicalpath, Ye Harm Done, Do as Ye Will", which is for a Magic and Sorcery website and not Leather Goods.

But that's not a Zen Cart problem.

we had to use includes folder from
As the "strapline" is in /includes/languages/english/mostlygrey/meta_tags.php most likely
And your includes folder was from another install
That would need to be edited to change it

Re: Please help major problems after moving to new server

Thank you for the replies. No the "strapline" is not one of the major problems... mine is the fact that when i imported the website the fresh install from Bluehost used a different name for the admin folder and caused major problems in the database. From what i am understanding is that the website was built using zen_admin where blue hostings folder uses zc_admin. If i do any changes to https://www.leatherparlor.com is goes crazy and makes changes i really dont want made. Like the "strapline" thing i do not know why it changed cause i did not change it. All i was trying to do was put a gif above the footer at bottom of the page showing that the CC processing is done by Firstdata. When i tried to place the image in using the codes from w3school.com it went all crazy and caused the website to not even show up. I had a backup of it so i cleared the database and used it to get the site back up. I am beginning to think i will just have to try to make it through Christmas and then completely redo them so there are no errors in the database or within the php files. I am just finding out any changes made are causing the site to cause server errors.

Re: Please help major problems after moving to new server

Well, if you have two 'admin' folders then you only need one of them, so delete the other. Then, as you have now posted the address of both Zen Cart 'admin' folders on an open forum, you should rename the one you do keep and edit that admin's configure.php file in the 3 places in which you need to change the name.

Re: Please help major problems after moving to new server

The "true" admin folder should be correctly renamed to something that DOES NOT include the words admin, manage, etc... or it's a waste to bother.

Here is a tutorial https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33

Re: Please help major problems after moving to new server

Thank you mprough, i did all this the other day... i just have to go through everything and make sure everything is working correctly... you see after doing all these changes when i tried to go in and add my FirstData banner at the bottom of the pages it went all crazy and all i was getting was a blank page on https://www.leatherparlor.com when i did a restore to the database everything went crazy even further and cause some of https://www.majikalpath.com to be imported into leatherparlor. I trying to find out why and fix that problem and then add my FirstData banner at the bottom... then all should be good....
