I already have the new plan and upload all the files (they only way to change plans "i have to closed one account and open a new one")

The problem they just create a name for my new account it's new.mysite.com It's a new account not a subdomain they told me when i'm ready they will change that back to mysite.com

Re: Moving Site to new account with same host HELP!!

Don't go editing your configure.php files by hand. Let zc_install build the correct contents for you: do a fresh NEW install of an EMPTY site, and then test it. And THEN put your real site's files onto the new server (except let it keep the newly-created configure.php files)

The exact procedure you should follow is outlined here: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?142-i-want-to-move-my-zen-cart-installation-to-another-host-or-a-different-server

Thank you

The only think is in my head my domain for my new account is temporally new.mysite.com it's a new account and not a subdomain...

will be better to get a new domain mysite.net? to do the test....because my other site still live mysite.com

After I get it to work I think will be a lot easier to change configure..

Thank you

Install it so that it works now. And then when your URL changes later, you can alter the HTTP_SERVER setting to put your real domain on it.

You want to let zc_install calculate all the paths in all the other settings to suit your new server.
