None of my side boxes are showing in rght column

Hi everyone

Here is the lead up to my problem.

created a cart on one of my hosting sites, tweaked it till I was almost happy. Then moved the file over to a new domain on the same server. made the necessary changes in both config files to represent the new domain. Wouldn't have thought that there would be a problem with this.

But somewhere in the transfer, something went a miss, not sure where as I have uploaded it to the new domain a couple of times to try and fix.

My problem is that none of my side boxes are showing in the right hand column and prior to the transfer, they did.

Below are my layout setting in configuration:

Column Width - Left Boxes 150px
Column Width - Right Boxes 170px
Bread Crumbs Navigation Separator  :: 
Define Breadcrumb Status 1
Bestsellers - Number Padding  
Bestsellers - Truncate Product Names 35

Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF 1
Site Map - include My Account Links? No
Skip 1-prod Categories True
CSS Buttons No

None of my boxes in the right column have overlapping sort orders so they should show.

I am a little bit at a loss, any help would be so much appreciated.

Below is a link to the site, in case you needed to have a look to see what I am talking about!!

Link to site

Oh and if you visit the link, just be aware that I know I have other issues eg: image handler (which i am working on)

I am running zen 1.3.6 with various mods

If you need more info, please let me know

TIA :smile:

Look in the Configuration ... Website Maintenance ...

What is your setting for:

Down for Maintenance: Hide Column Right
Down for Maintenance: Hide Column Right
(true=hide false=show)

true
false

Also check that your two files on the server:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

are both using the same database prefix, database, username and password ...

NOTE: do not post that information here ... just check it ... :smile:

Hi ajeh

Prior to posting I set both the sideboxes to show when down for maintenance, as normally I would not, but seeing how you would need to see them to get what I was meaning, I changed them, to show.

Below is the define datebase connection code in my configue files minus the sensitive info. I have checked both config files and they are same in regard to your question. I do not have a DB prefix as I don't use a prefix, so I am assuming that the below is correct

define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxxxxx');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'xxxxxxxxx');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'db'

Thanks

UPDATE

I have turned off my right side box the time being. I am going to re-upload the backup and see what happens as I am having all soughts of issues like test orders not showing up in admin therefore doesn't produce any purchase history. Oh well at least the email works in as far as saying that I get the "NEW ORDER" emails every time I do a test order.

Failing this, I might do a fresh install of 1.3.6 on work on a new custom template.

I will post the conclusion when I know it!!
