the store isnt displaying and directing to /install

hello,
please help me with this, i would really appreciate it


the open cart store has been working just fine (both front and backend),
up until few days ago, the store front does not display online
and im getting a 404 Error that files are missing, and the URL (index file) is getting redirected to /install/index.php
its like its trying to install something.

the online store is not published yet, and it was created under /shop directory,
but as you can see, if you go to link below:
http://www.glamourhautecouture.com/shop/
it will direct you to:
http://www.glamourhautecouture.com/shop ... /index.php

this just happend all of a sudden without any interefence with the code on my end. i called my host, and they said it seems like some files are missing and i will have to uninstall and reinstall.
i have the full store ready to publish, so uninstalling isnt an option, with all the products and content in place.
also, note that i can still access the backend and all my infomration are there without any issues, its just not displaying on the store front.
please HELP!

I wouldn't be able to solve your problem except suggesting, have you looked into your HTACCESS file? Seems like a redirect to a non-existent page.

You should delete the install directory after you installed it. If it exists, opencart auto directs to it.

Is it the permisson fallen down (none) in the file install/index.php? It is permission 644?

Hello. I try to click the admin site : http://www.glamourhautecouture.com/shop/admin/ and look likes fine. Maybe you were tried doing something on back panel before? Such as on redirecting SEO or something. Try to remember.

the presmission is fine, i think!
there is no /install folder
but the index page under the store's directory (/shop) has 6 4 4 persmission
read (X user, X group, X world)
write (X user, no group, no world)
execute (no user, no group, no world)
permission 6 4 4

hello,
thanks for your response,
the backend works fine, and all products/images/etc...are there
but the store front stopped working,
nothing really comes to mind, it was just the usual adding products, etc...
and it was working fine until all of a sudden, it started directing to /install and broke the store

Sounds like your config file is missing.

In the store folder on the server, there should be a file called config.php. If it's not there, you'll have to recreate it.

hi Fido-x, thanks for responding,
no it's there, and it seems fine,
here's the code below:


<?php
class Config {
private $data = array();

public function get($key) {
return (isset($this->data[$key]) ? $this->data[$key] : null);
}

public function set($key, $value) {
$this->data[$key] = $value;
}

public function has($key) {
return isset($this->data[$key]);
}

public function load($filename) {
$file = DIR_CONFIG . $filename . '.php';

if (file_exists($file)) {
$_ = array();

require($file);

$this->data = array_merge($this->data, $_);
} else {
trigger_error('Error: Could not load config ' . $filename . '!');
exit();
}
}
}

That's the wrong file! That's the system/library file.

In the top level directory for your store, there should be a file called config.php.

this is it,
when i open the config.php, this is the code i have,
this file is located under /shop
which is the directory where my store is located

guys,
any updates on this please?
i really need your help
thank you

The only way to fix your problem would be to restore your config.php file to how it should be. It should look something like the one in your admin folder.

Yes. You can do that, but you will need to change a few things in it.

In the copy, edit the defines for "HTTP_SERVER" and "HTTPS_SERVER" so they point to your store (delete the "admin/" from the end. Delete the defines for "HTTP_CATALOG" and "HTTPS_CATALOG".

In the define for "DIR_APPLICATION", replace "admin" with "catalog" and delete the "DIR_CATALOG" define. The rest should be the same.

thanks Fido,
i did what you tell me,
now if you go to:
http://glamourhautecouture.com/shop/

you'll get this error:

Notice: Error: Could not load template /home/glamour2015/public_html/shop/catalog/view/template/default/template/common/column_left.tpl! in /home/glamour2015/public_html/shop/system/engine/loader.php on line 45


please advise, thank you so much for your time, i really appreciate it

Is your template folder still there? It should be located at catalog/view/theme/default.
