Will upgrading from v1.5.4 to v156c solve the thousands of MyDebug log files

[Peace Freak]

My hosting company recently complained that the server my ZenCart was being hosted on was being overloaded and slowed down due to the vast number (100,000 plus!) of MyDebug files in the ZenCart log directory. I was able to delete them and install the Log Manager plugin:
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2123
which I've set to delete anything older than a day...

My site is a Japanese/English site and at some point in the near future (I hope!), I plan to upgrade to v156. So I'm wondering if upgrading will eliminate (some of?) the errors, or should I begin sorting through them now, before upgrading?

I've copied the errors that seem to be most frequent below.

Your advice would be most appreciated!!

Most certainly upgrading the site will reduce the frequency and type of mydebug logs especially as it would seem that the php version for your site has been increased beyond the original design of the site software.

While there is a new link location to the following, my browser can't access it, so I am still using this old link on how to do the "upgrade": http://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3-...d-of-upgrading

Thank you. I think this may be the newer upgrade page you were talking about:

https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/upgra...led_upgrading/

I would appreciate any other comments by experienced users on the effect upgrading will have on the proliferation of MyDebug files...

As @mc said, "the php version for your site has been increased beyond the original design of the site software." You are running an old version of Zen Cart (1.5.4) with a new version of PHP (7+). See here for a mapping of PHP versions to Zen Cart versions:
https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/first...s/#php-version

Change the underlying php version down to the lowest your hosting permits (7.1?) while you work on the upgrade.
