Local Host works fine, Live Server only loads Background

:unsure: Ok im at a lost.
Im not new to zencart, but today, i feel like a true beginner.

I've been trying for the past few hours trying to upload my site.
It works perfectly in Localhost, but when i upload to the server all i get is the background.

Im using 1.3.8a

Here's a picture of what it looks like on my local server:

Re: Local Host works fine, Live Server only loads Background

If you look at "View Source" in your browser, you'll see that it's dying after it does the html_header output, before it does the tpl_main_page content.

Try this to discover your PHP error: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=82
And double-check that all your files uploaded properly. The most common cause of problems is failed FTP uploads.

Additionally, if you turn off your custom template and use the built-in "classic" template, does it work better? If so, you'll need to fix whatever's broken in your custom template.

And ... WHY are you building a new site using a VERY OLD version (1.3.8) of Zen Cart with numerous known security bugs? v1.3.9h is presently the current version, and is definitely a better choice for a new site.

:blush: DrByte, I know I know.... but i tried the 1.3.9 and couldn't get it to work. BUTTTTTT, i did upload the NEWEST Version to the Live server just now, so i will be using the new version.

In addition, yes, the classic template works fine in the server, but i will look at all your suggestions and see if i can fix it. *

:lookaroun I will let you know the outcome regardless. Thanks

Re: Local Host works fine, Live Server only loads Background

OK!!! GOT IT TO WORK:clap:

OF COURSE IT WAS DEFINATELY "USER" ERROR:blush:
I DIDN'T UPLOAD THE THIRD PARTY CALENDAR TO THE LIVE SERVER AND IT WAS GIVING THE ERROR. ONCE I INSTALLED IT TO THE LIVE SERVER, THE SITE CAME RIGHT UP.

WOULDNT HAVE FOUND IT WITHOUT THAT HANDY CACHE ERROR LOG.

THANKS

......**DR.BYTE THANKS FOR GETTING ON ME ABOUT UPGRADING TO 1.3.9. **
I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT IM UPGRADED TO THE FULLEST NOW!!!!
...TIME FOR ME TO DONATE!!!!
