I bought a new MySQL database and named it something unique. Then, I uploaded all the files for the newest copy of zencart, installed it (not upgrade...my error in reading the instructions) and played around with it.
I've discovered by reading instructions that all the alterations I've made to the old store makes upgrading basically impossible or incredibly difficult because I was haphazardly changing files. That is fine to me losing the changes. But, I don't want to lose all the hundreds of customers' information and items in my store. So, in MySQL viewer, it appears that the old database is fine.
I deleted everything, followed the directions, changing the config.php file and tried to 'UPGRADE', but it doesn't give me that option.
I'm sure that I need to give more information to troubleshoot...but I don't know what....So, please help me figure out what I did wrong and then how to fix it.
Thanks
Tim
