Broke my Site - Installed Zip into live public_html directory

Morning Morning

I am absolutely devastated.

Broke my Site - Installed Zencart Zip into public_html directory into a folder called TESTSHOP and unzipped it.
I was trying to create a test site so that I can rebuild my original site as Google is not listing my products.

Now neither the frontend or backend work.

I then deleted the folder called TESTSHOP and did a restore to the day before changes were made.
No luck. My webhost also did a restore and still no luck.

I am assuming by unpacking the zipped zencart file it has somehow conflicted with the previous zencart installation.

Zen 1.5.6c

Please help me fix up this mess I have created.
I would like the site back up and running and then will proceed with installing the test Zen in a sub domain which I should have done in the first place.

There's a site at the address provided... What's the issue now?

Did you figure out how to effectively "recover" from a restore and that is why the site is functional?

No I had to get a freelancer to help me. It had something to do with a DB issue. I didn't change anything with regards to DB so not sure how this happened. Problem is now resolved thanks for looking into it though. Much appreciated.
