Hmmm, interesting.

I assume that you had intended to write "cavalryhome.com" as the domain name rather than just "cavalryhome"? Either way, the way I'm seeing things is that the store itself is actually located at "cavalrycustoms.com" (which is working just fine).

This means one of two things. Either someone has changed the servername in your config file(s) to "cavalrycustoms.com" when it should be "cavalryhome.com", OR you have somehow lost whatever was being used to redirect "cavalryhome.com" to "cavalrycustoms.com".

Cheers

Depends if you want to lose any mods you have made to your site??
Start by clarifying the points raised by RodG.

You need to download a default version of the version you are using then compare and merge all file in simplified terms. But if I were you I'd take heed of stevesh warning and check that you haven't been hacked else you'll just end up carrying the hack across to your repaired store.

It may not be a hack but if you can't get into admin then that could mean that someone else has.
Do you have any backups of the stores files? It would help with answers and help you in knowing which fileset to download by simply know which version of zen cart you are using.

To make things crystal clear could you clarify and re-post a correct link to your store please, your original post states a non existent domain.

Re: Why isn't my site working???

So where is the added /cavalry_home/ coming from?
Is it as RodG asks, a redirect or have all your internal links been altered?
