Moving from one host to another

I've followed these instructions to the letter, to move my ZC site from a (crappy) host to a new (hopefully better) one. All the steps went fine, with the exception of step 6. I've saved fix_cache_key.php (here -- don't worry, I'll delete it once this gets resolved), but it will not load. My site does not work at all with my new host. Help?

Did you select a host that supports Zen Cart? and or moves your site for free?

Yes -- bluehost.com

and or moves your site for free?

I do not believe they do (wasn't advertised on this page), but I will ask.

Whats the URL

I also dont think Blue Host will Migrate the sites for you,
that is a personalized service offered by some of us smaller companies

My ZC install site is at http://philgagner.com/candles
I've changed nothing yet so admin is still at /admin and the fix_cache_key.php is under /candles/fix_cache_key.php

Re: Moving from one host to another

UGH I think I figured it out. :) configure.php was showing DB_PREFIX of 'zen_'. I changed it to '' and it looks like it might be working now! :cross fingers:
