Making BIG progress...but stuck again!

<?php require_once('../Connections/localhost.php'); ?>
The ../ would indicate that the connections folder is not in the current folder, but one folder up. So if you had the page with this include in a sub directory in the site called subdir it would indicate that the connections folder is not in this subdir folder but instead is in the folder above it.
The trick to resolving errors that occur for the links like this is to determine if the path is correctly pointing to the file, if it is and you still get the error it indicates that the file has not been uploaded to that location on the live server. Here is a link to a quick page that discusses the types of links for a web page:

I found the problem on my index page, and got my index page to come back up, but when we go to the products page it doesn't show any of the products in the products part of the page. they are listed on the side, but under Products List (heading) it says "No results for your search"
The admin page opens up, lets me log in, shows the list of products, but if I click "update" I get another page with an error code I can't track down because it refers to the admin page for menu.php and the code doesn't match.
I'm so close!! (I think)
