OOPS! Online catalog display now shows blank page - Help please

[Guest]

Hi everyone. This regards the 'Admin works but my online catalog shows blank page' issue.

 

All was installed and fine. Today I was doing an update and instead of uploading selected files I uploaded my entire local osCommerce Catalog folder. I saw no harm in this as all previous edits on my local working copy should be identical to what's been previously uploaded.

When I went to view the online catalog, got the blank page.

 

Unfortunately I still had the 'Install' folder inside my local one.

All of the files are on the server, I can't figure out what's happened, though I did catch my mistake of re-uploading the 'install' folder and have deleted that. I also ran up my latest backup and still get the blank page.

 

Does anyone know why a re-upload of the local catalog(including the 'install' folder by oversight) causes index.php to fail to show it's html page? I sure won't do it again but I need to know what this screws up. What I uploaded is my local work copy so I assumed it should not change any code.

 

Note: STS v4.4 is installed, and in Admin is still default to use my custom template, which had all worked fine.

I can't find a problem which is causing the index.php to fail to show anything. Nothing in my Admin has changed -- but index.php doesn't invoke it's html page now

 

 

Things I've tried---

-I deleted the re-upload of 'install', and checked the files for correct CHMOD settings, and they are as they should be.

 

- includes/configure.php is on the server. I don't think I'm supposed to delete it. I renamed it 'OLD' but that didn't fix it so I've renamed it back to configure.php

 

-checked my database table on the server and nothing seems to have changed there either.

 

Anybody solved this issue? I figure people have done the same -- once! (I'll sure know better next time...)

I got the same balnk page as I made some contributions work in the backend. I can't even think of changing any php which has something to do with shop itsselv.

It's very dreadfull since all of the new contributions work fine in the backend, but the shop is blank.

Please can anybody help!????!
