Tehkella Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I think I've managed to muck something up - and I was travelling along so well. I tried to delete the stuff on the index page (the stuff about how to edit pages etc) - but I think I deleted some code that was meant to stay. And then I uploaded and overwrote the index.php at the top level instead of /catalog/includes/languages/english - eep! I've tried uploading another version, but I've gotten thoroughly mired - what can I do. Restoring a backed up database didn't help any. *sob* :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy James Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It has nothing to do with the database, that is why it didn't help. Best thing to do would be to take a breathe and step away for a minute. (I know that always helps me when i goof up) Then reupload the original catalog/index.php and catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php or whichever language you were playing with. That should solve your problem. Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My web host had an auto-install for OsCommerce, so I don't have the original files. I take it I could download the zip and find the file I need and reupload?

Wendy James Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yup. :) You can download the zip under solutions then downloads at the top of the page. Always a good idea to have the originals handy and always always always make a backup copy of whatever file you are editing incase something like this happens.
