Config Files for Admin

[gcopping]

I am upgrading from 1.3.9h to 1.5.1 and have got the db uploaded and changed the configure.php files. I can browse to the web site but I cannot browse to the Admin log on I just get the message:

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

I have double checked the db configures and they are the same as the db configure.php for the web site. So I think I may have a directory problem.

If my Admin directory is www.website.com/zencart/admin123 then I am a bit confused as to what should go in the following:

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p1) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p2) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');

and

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../') . '/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/website/public_html/zencart/');

I have tried adding 'admin123' in the 3 places following 'zencart' above but then I just get a blank screen when pointing to the Admin Login page.

Can anyone please help with this?

This is code that automatically gets the name of your secret_admin folder.
And doesn't need any changing.

Thanks for your help.

OK I have checked the log files and it appears the problem is with a table called 'dbprefix'_admin_pages not existing.

I have checked my db with PHPMyAdmin and it certainly isn't there, but my db is a restore of a 1.3.9h version and that table doesn't exist there either.

So please what do I do next?

That table does exist in a stock Zencart installation (1.5.1). My guess is that it's part of the Admin Profiles function that was added to 1.5 and it sounds like you restored a 1.3.9 DB, but the 1.5 files are still looking for that table. You may nave to upgrade your DB to 1.5.

Yes you are correct so then the question is how do I upgrade the db tables when I can't get access to the Admin function?
