how to restore my website with a back up?

Hello, i lost my website due to a hosting account cancelation. now i bought the housting again
and i would like to keep my website the same way it was. sadly the back up i have is
a bit old , but i'm pretty sure it's a working back up.
i uploaded all the files via filezilla , and when i go to my site which is www.armandobarillas.com
i get these messages

Warning: require_once(/home/content/26/11594526/html/system/startup.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/somnik/public_html/index.php on line 21

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/content/26/11594526/html/system/startup.php'

thank you for reading, any help will be much appreciated !!

Check the config files and change the path to what your new host would require. A quick and dirty way is to log into your account with FTP and and see what the path is for your host and where the store is located.

i.e. /home/yourdirectoryname/public_html/catalog/

And ensure this is what is in your config files.

Hello Mike! , thank you very much for responding and helping , i am very new to this so i'm not understanding everything here. but this is what my config.php looks like (the one on the root)

define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/catalog/');
define('DIR_SYSTEM', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/system/');
define('DIR_DATABASE', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/system/database/');
define('DIR_LANGUAGE', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/catalog/language/');
define('DIR_TEMPLATE', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/catalog/view/theme/');
define('DIR_CONFIG', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/system/config/');
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/image/');
define('DIR_CACHE', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/system/cache/');
define('DIR_DOWNLOAD', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/download/');
define('DIR_LOGS', '/home/content/98/12954798/html/system/logs/');

i know i have to change something on config.php but i don't know what.
and maybe on admin/config.php too

remember i'm new!

Replace all occurrences of with and save. Ensure you do this both for your /config.php and /admin/config.php

Hello JAY6390! , see... i forgot to mention that this warning/error is old, since the site was already restored with the database

Ah! thank you very much JAY6390! i can see the admin panel now! but i see a bunch of new warnings too!
kind of crazy , i'm thinking now this has to be a problem with the database? x_x

Contact your host, your database details are incorrect

Ok i will do that , thank you very much!

So i called my hosting provider and they told me that they don't give that type of support,
and that i have to go to phpmyadmin and edit the database , i logged into phpmyadmin but i don't understand
anything.

Then at this point you need to look into hiring a developer to get this fixed as this is going beyond simple help for OpenCart and isn't in fact anything to do with OpenCart

I see, yeah i understand this is not an easy thing to fix. I do have a back up of the original database, which was given to me
by the godaddy people who restored the site. would it be possible to leave it back the way it was using this database file?

One more post , i managed to minimize the problem to this

Fatal error: Call to a member function isLogged() on a non-object in /home/content/98/12954798/html/catalog/model/catalog/product.php on line 65

this is the only message i get on the site now, would you mind helping me out on this one also? thank you very much!
