Well, there is one aspect of database equivalency that definitely plays into the bolded part above. The settings in the database do have an effect on how the site looks. It really depends on what...

Not a desired answer, but it somewhat depends. Mostly it depends on what else has been done, to what extent the new feature is being tested, how it interacts with other features/operations. Generally...

Let's see. One of what 5 demo sites all set up/upgraded. None of which *must* use PayPal, but could instead use check/money order with a default status that would reflect "full" payment (in a testing...

So you're saying that there is no issue with other downloadable product being purchased (since this upgrade), but this new product that has been since added (or at least an option has been added for...

What's the order status of the particular order? What are the settings for configuration->attribute settings? What is the permissions of the pub folder?

Ahem, how well did it work when you tried...

Well, found it using "zen cart attributes download" as my search criteria in my preferred search engine. :)

Remember though. Measure three times, cut once...

Meaning, be absolutely sure that you are deleting the correct database. The files, well, they basically can/have been reproduced and are easily...

Yes you should keep one of the upgraded sites as an upgrade with which to make future mistakes without impacting your actual live site.

As to how to continue to prevent inappropriate navigation, I...

It is/was in the older version of ZC... Perhaps a file was not updated or remains that should have been removed?

There is no admin/includes/index.css in the current ZC 1.5.5; however, on a ZC...

Another case where F12 may help to identify issues. Such as this. But, have you tried a different browser or different device?
Css files: well, if you were to pull up the source code and search for...

Generally speaking if the database has been upgraded (or seen as up-to-date with the current version) then you will see that message about it being a live store and the database will be deleted type...

You should see nothing different than what you have seen...

Today alone you have prepared a copy of files that were your live site files.
You have copied your database which is/was a live...

The bold "steps" above, should ideally all be one step as far as software is concerned and technically the sideboxes in place part and as necessary mod installation could be through a single sql...

Typically would chalk that up to missing css file(s), mistake in admin/includes/configure.php (too many slashes in one or more of the defines, though that should be automatic), or the need to clear...

And to help those that may be following along, what did you find the issue to be?

So, do you want the easy answer or the how to figure out what is going on?
I think you know both...

Was just thinking also, have you tried searching for product in one of your updated sites as well was the db2utf8 utility used as ZC now primarily uses utf8 data rather than the possible latin1 and...

Considering that it seems the above summary is based on the 21 pages of this thread and not necessarily all having been done just now, my suggestion would be to replicate your existing live site...

So first is to identify what error is really being reported: /logs/.
If nothing recent related to that, then possibly server logs if you have access to them and/or can get them relatively quickly....

Remember, you're practicing an upgrade. That means everything about it. Recently it was practicing the database part, but that's just half of the store, besides that, your "first" test store where...

Don't know how strong a tree is until it is shaken a bit, keep growing roots and understanding the "why"...

Errors: always check first for ZC logs. There might be one directly related.
Could be...

Don't let me shake you like that...

I've asked twice, have you verified that you can do with your store what it is constructed to do? Ie. If you sell things, have you tried to purchase something?...

At the core of it, I'm speaking metaphysically. See, the ZenCart logo if not mistaken has changed since at least ZC 1.5.0. So, if it is still used on your site at any point/location then it would be...

That at least gives an understanding of the likely status of things. Note that in the installation process "earlier" there was discussion of issues with the htaccess file(s) as pertains to nginx. The...

You know what's both interesting and concerning? There is no discussion about how the new ZC version files got integrated, placed, replaced, or otherwise used to "successfully" upgrade...

From post 162:



Password is stored encrypted in the database. Username and password to be used in the zc_install process when asked for "super user" credentials is that of an admin that logs...

A fully functional store with all of the programming properly written to handle the expected data and to sanitize any wrong/malicious data, should provide no additional mydebug logs during...

If your "new" folder has everything in it to provide what you want, then no you won't lose any of your customizations.... That's the point of having built a functional version of the site under...

There are all sorts of "POSSIBLE" tests, but I would recommend thinking about what test(s) you believe you need...

Starting with this first "self-help" thought: what is the purpose of your store...

The files have been upgraded (ZC 1.5.5e), the database has not. The zc_install should have been from the same set of files as the ZC 1.5.5e store files.

My suggestion right now would be to use...

Ahh, so may not have actually completed the zc_install process. Apologies I didn't guide/question further.

Top right corner: software version.
In the version link: both software version and then...

Having less data, can make sense as the database upgrade has not been performed which would take up more space likely by the addition of fields, increasing field length, plugins, etc...

Okay to...

User and password is something that can/should be able to be assigned through cPanel and one of the database tools made available to you where such can be applied. You could use the same user and...

Good, so hopefully though (and it was stated earlier that you had learned how to do a database "transfer") you now know how to do that because the database is your "life-line" the files can be easily...

Yes, because remember what I wrote I think the page before. The upgrade performed by zc_install is to update the configure.php files and the database. If you use an old database and an old version of...

Suggestion being: dump that database (or back it up before doing so), copy over your live database to this one, copy your backed up configure.php files (or contents), upload the zc_install again, do...

Ahhh. Okay. I was still getting redirected to your store site when attempting to access storetest. I ended up changing from desktop mode to mobile and could see what you described, though it happened...

New clean install??? As in none of your existing data or the data that is/was in your database?

It IS defined, just not in that file. All of the "standard" defines have been moved to a separate file to minimize the user error issues that had been occurring in previous versions. Your...

The zc_install process needs to know to what version(s) to upgrade. It is in this file that the information is stored. As DrByte I believe indicated earlier in this thread, once ZC 1.5.5 or any of...

The version being upgraded, if followed the discussion correctly, the site also is ZC 1.5.0 to be upgraded to 1.5.5 and yet the above PHP version check identifies that the version is 5.5.0... That is...

Is this still the same site that recently had a redirect to your live site?
There could be also a setting in that database that is picked up and possibly causing the install to attempt to access the...

There's a number of ways identified in internet searches. Its not required for operation, it just offers faster operation, I realize its not an answer, but I may suggest that for that one to discuss...

Could be correct provided that _zencartclone came from _zencart... If it came from _zencart589, then well no update to be performed.. Haven't also described the "look" of the cloned site... Is...

Its kind of back to what was previously identified: GZip disabled. I'm a little surprised that that is all that was logged at all, though I guess reading between the lines, there were other entries...

Still not sure which "instructions" are being followed as don't really see any such in this thread after scrolling through the previous 13 pages. I do see, and have fallen "victim" to the "multiple"...

This all depends on to what database the includes/configure.php was/is pointing. If the database has previously been updated (can find info in the version table), then the referenced database has...

I didn't say restore the filename, I said make it start with a period...

._.htaccess would be fine.

Gzip isn't required. It's a notification.
The message about the nginx aspect is addressed...

If not mistaken, when presented with a message during the zc_install process, supposedly clicking on the item will provide more information. The configure.php file update/upgrade: just telling you...
