Moved site to root and now it is asking for new install

Please help!

I installed the new version of Zen Cart 1.38a in a folder called demo. I have my live store on the root of my server. I finally had the new store in demo ready to go live and replace my old store.

When I installed in Demo I had created a fresh new database and then imported my "live" database into the new one.

I copied my folder structure/files from /demo to the root and replaced the files that were there. I went into the 2 config files in includes and admin/includes and changed anywhere it said /demo/ to just "/" so it would show on the root.

When I load my page or the admin page I get the "Thank you for loading Zen Cat" message. I don't know what I did wrong! My site is https://www.simetraonline.com

Please help! I have a big charity launch going out in 7 hours.

Thank you in advance!

Did you also change the absolute path in the configure files?

Post the content of your includes/configure.php file (take out the database login info)

I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me

Here is the includes\configure

Re: Moved site to root and now it is asking for new install

Paths look okie in your /home/simetra/public_html/includes/configure.php. The only problem I can think of is that all the files needed were not copied completely.
