Problem installing new site with a new database after customizing old one.

I installed EZ Publish 3.4.1 with a typical plain install and did the 'Scandinavian Checkmates' tutorial.

When all was said and done I wanted to start on my new website and, rather than erase everything and do a fresh install, I decided to create a new site so I went into mysql and created a new database which was fine.

I updated the information in the site.ini.append.php file to include my site

Then I created a directory structure of my site in the design directory and created the site and admin folders in the settings/siteaccess folder.

This last part is proving to be a problem, I think. The problem is I have no idea what information belongs in my .ini files (especially my override.ini files) and I don't have the original defaults that were in the plain directory since the TSCM tutorial instructs you to rename the plain and plain_admin directories to the customized site.

What I had (<i>had</i>?) to do then was to take the ini files from my settings/siteaccess/tscm and tscm_admin directories and copy them directly to my new site directories. EZ Publish has been complaining about this: all the customizations were reflected in my override.ini.append file with things like template overrides for classes that don't exist anymore with the new database. I tried deleting those and now I get the error:

<b>Fatal error:</b> Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in c:\ezpublish\ezpublish\lib\ezi18n\classes\ezcharsetinfo.php on line 66
<b>Fatal error:</b> eZ publish did not finish it's request

The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

<b>Notice:</b> Undefined variable: relMemory in c:\ezpublish\ezpublish\lib\ezutils\classes\ezdebug.php on line 1176

Is there some way I can get the original ini files back? If not, does anyone know how to hack 'em so this new site will work again?

Hi,
the override.ini file specifies, which template file from the standard design are overriden by template, that you have stored in your /design/<mydesign>/override/templates directory. If you want to start over with a "plain" design, i guess, your "design" directory is pretty empty. I that case, you probably can just delete the override.ini file in your /settings/siteaccess/<myaccess> directory.

Don't forget to clear all caches, while doing these changes!
