Moved Zen Cart from one computer to another and lost data
I have two companies set up with two separate zen carts on my computer so I can tweak the storefronts before transfering them to the internet. I decided to move everything from a Win98 machine to a new Vista driven machine because its MUCH faster. Installed EasyPhp on the new machine (which was what was on the Win98 machine), set up the two separate databases, installed ZenCart in each database, copied all the files related to each of the companies on the Win98 machine to a disk and transfered them to the Vista machine. After dealing with differences in the configurations (drive d: on the Win 98 machine and drive c: on the Vista) between the two machines everything is up and running. Pages look the same, once I selected the proper template. The problem is, I have no data on the products or customers I added when everything was on the Win98 machine. When I burned the cd, I copied everything in the two files on the Win98 machine ( d:easyPHP1-8/www/zen_cart - I copied the file "zen_cart" and all its contents...and did the same for the other company) and then just copied and pasted them onto the new machine in the appropriate directories. Am I doing it wrong? Did I miss files or something? Am I going to have the same problem when I move this stuff to the webhost? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
