Moving store from one server to another

I have zencart for one of my website i.e. vspbridal.com and previously it was on reseller plan of hostgator, now i moved it to baby plan by taking full backup and asking hostgator to restore it.

on reseller plan it was /home3/vspbrida/public_html/(zencart files) now it is home3/harsoayr/public_html/vspbridal.com/(zencart files) after moving database name and user name also changed so i updated them in both /public_html/vspbridal.com//includes/configure.php and /public_html/vspbridal.com//admin/includes/configure.php

but now its showing me this error

Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart®.
You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

This is your first time using Zen Cart® and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, you will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).

Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
See the Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart® website for assistance.
Additional Details: includes/configure.php file contents invalid. ie: DIR_FS_CATALOG not valid or not set

my current configure.php contains

Re: Moving store from one server to another

If the home path has changed from:
/home3/vspbrida/public_html/

to the new path:
/home3/harsoayr/public_html/

You need to change those in your configure.php files as well ...

Re: Moving store from one server to another

Your store works correct?

If so, can you post the two files. from the server, without your database password information for:
/includes/configure.php
/your_secret_admin/includes/configure.php

Re: Moving store from one server to another

Also, what version of PHP is being used on this new server? What version was on the old?
Any mydebug logs in the logs directory? What are the contents?
