    Please help. I was working to launch a site and some file must have been moved during my last FTP session, so now the site does not work..

    See http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php


    I can get to the Admin Page http://www.zinosociety.com/admin.php

    But when go to look at a template I get http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php?URL=http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php/site/about/

    See the first string..

    I dont know were to look to fix this?  Tim

    When I click on About from the main page, the link is hard coded to go to an IP address.

    Are you using {path=site/about} there?

    That’s the first thing to solve.

    Ug,

    I was trying to do an update to fix it. The problem is the update file will not work now nor with the Admin page http://www.zinosociety.com/admin.php?

    I get this warning…

    Warning: require(./db/db.mysql.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/zinosoci/public_html/eesys/update.php on line 58

    Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./db/db.mysql.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/zinosoci/public_html/eesys/update.php on line 58


    Up way to late, now I broke it..  What to do?  I can give you FTP access if needed? Best, Tim 206.375.9500 Seattle

    Yes the site was not hard coded, it was using {path=site/about}.

    I was in the FTP and I think I dragged and dropped the wrong file or something, then it went wrong ??

    OK, now I see the update screen http://www.zinosociety.com/eesys/update.php

    I backed up all of the files already… What should I do now, stop?

    Thanks! Tim

    Note that http://www.zinosociety.com has their old website pulling up now with the index.html file that is not running on EE.

    OK, Now I back up to the original state where I can see the control panel and everything on the back end.

    Some file moved in my FTP so now when I go to view the templates http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php/site/membership/

    The system can not find some file or something it points to

    http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php?URL=http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php/site/about/

    Note the URL in the front. It never added this before
    “http://www.zinosociety.com/index.php?URL=”

    I am not sure what to do now? My cell is 206.375.9500 please help!

    TT, I’m sorry, but we don’t do phone support.

    General Configuration

    Make sure you set the values correctly to reflect your new domain information.

    After resetting those values, do things work better.

    And just to add to Sue’s (excellent) advice - if that doesn’t solve it, you may want to consider a full re-installation.  It sounds like some of the files have gotten modified/removed, and that the process got interrupted.  The easiest way to “reset” things is probably just to backup your data, and install again.

    We fixed it. The problem was an index.php for pMachine PRO instead of EE and an extra directory.

    Back up and running.
