Missing admin/includes/init_includes folder

[Saintsteven]

Hello, I'm preparing to upgrade from 1.5.3 to 1.5.4 and have discovered I'm missing the admin folder admin/includes/init_includes and its contents entirely.

Cart's running fine, but I'm going to assume there will be dire consequences if I don't fix this......

Before I do the upgrade, can someone help me wrap my brain around around a procedure for fixing this?

Thanks.

If you're missing that folder, then your admin won't work at all. Just a blank screen, or maybe some error messages on-screen.

To restore the files, copy them back to your server from the last reliable backup you made of the files on your server.
If you have no idea what a backup is, then let this be a warning: always make regular reliable backups: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...-a-site-backup Be sure to start making regular backups of BOTH your database and your site's files.

And, if you have no backup at all, then copy those files from the original set of Zen Cart files for the version of Zen Cart that's on your server. There's a link to download any version of Zen Cart on the zen-cart.com home page, or use www.zen-cart.com/getit

Thank you.

Before I began, I did back up my files and database. Encountered white pages, restored the files backup, regained control.

So now I'm back to square one: ready to upload new files and changed files, but no admin/includes/init_includes directory and files. I assume I can't just slug those in. Do I need to re-install 1.5.3 or something? Like I mentioned, so far this doesn't seem to have affected my functionality-I can administrate, orders process correctly............haven't encountered problems.

Thank you.

my apologies, I'm not missing the folder and was confused by a new FTP client. As far as I know now, I'm on course, please feel free to delete this topic.
