Problems after upgrading

Your post started out with talking about v1.3.6 and then jumped to talking about 1.3.8. I'm not clear about what version *you* are actually using. And, if you decided to just dump v1.3.8 files on top of a v1.3.6 install, well, you've got some more work to do. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=98

thanks for the response. i will read the debug link. to clarify my version challenge... the local install i did a few months ago was 1.3.6. my hosting company installed 1.3.8 recently and when i tried to apply the 1.3.x -> 1.3.8 patch to my local machine, is when all of this happened. i didn't think i modified the html_output file so i overwrote it with the one included in the patch. that's when i think the failure happened.

the debug tool gave me this:

[19-Aug-2009 14:48:33] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_href_link() (previously declared in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/icwebstore/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php:28) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/icwebstore/admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/html_output.php on line 73

(yes, my admin area has been renamed back to admin in an attempt to figure all of this out.)

line 73 is just a close bracket. oh no!

There should be no html_output.php file in the "extra_functions" folder. Just in the "functions" folder.
