Hey Netbull,
Thanks, I checked the configure.php file and i had remarked something out unintentionally, I fixed the ERROR CATALOG IMAGES DIRECTORY DOES NOT EXIST: DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES in the pink shaded area has gone away.
I am still receiving the rest of the result:
1054 - Unknown column 'c.distributors_id' in 'field list'
select distinct c.categories_id, cd.categories_name, c.categories_image, c.parent_id, c.sort_order, c.date_added, c.last_modified, c.distributors_id from categories c, categories_description cd where c.parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id = '1' group by c.categories_id order by c.sort_order, cd.categories_name
[TEP STOP]
