Blank Admin Page after upgrade

[Hound]

Just upgraded from 1.39f to 1.39h.

Now when I go to log into the admin I get a clean blank page.

Any ideas? I checked the configure.php files and they are correct. I also replaced the .htacess files from a backup just to be sure.

Thanks,
Anna

Here's the scenario: Was running Zen 1.39f with UPSXML, Super Orders, Apsona Shop Admin, and a custom template.

Attempted to install the Google Feeder. It blew up my database. Unfortunately the copy I had backed up is corrupt.

When I asked for help on the Google Feeder thread, the only reply I got was basically if I didn't upgrade to version h of zencart then they would not help me. So I attempted to upgrade to version h. This lovely jewel made my admin totally inaccessible and the website un-shoppable. I scoured the files using winmerge for about 20 hours total trying to find the problem and finally gave up and installed a fresh copy of zencart.

So far I have my template reinstalled but none of my other mods. I've contacted and paid Numinix to install his Google Feed Mod and hopefully he can fix whatever data corruption occured in my original database when he does that. However, when I attempt to reconnect my new install with my old database I get the following error. "1146 Table 'wholesom_zc1.project_version' doesn't exist"

I have made absolutely sure that both my config files are pointing to the correct database. I cannot access admin or the site at all. Of course I could revert back to the new database and be functional but I really don't want to lose the data in the old one or have to reenter 400+ products...

So my question is this. Do I need to install all of the previous add-ons I had in place in my original version prior to reconnecting the old database? Will that solve the problem?

It sounds like you're not finished the installation process. You should have backed up your old db, then imported it into your new blank db and reran install just for the DB upgrade step. Doing this will bring in all your old products and customer info and everything. Yes, it will also bring in old settings for mods, but those settings can be reset or your new version mods can overwrite those settings.
