database link problem after migrate to v1.5.4

[jojo_cool]

Hi,

I migrate my old zencart v1.3a to a new sever which with v1.5.4. After I uploaded my old database (file size is 3GB), I changed the configuration.php link to the old database.

Everything seem linked in the front door (can see all the old products listing) but the admin site still pointing to the new database (0 product and no customer list).

In the front door it has a error "Your database appears to need patching to a higher level. See Admin->Tools->Server Information to review patch levels." too.

May I know what else I can do? really have no idea already...

Thank you.

There are two files that need to be modified when moving from one server to another or when changing databases.

Includes/configure.php and
Admin/includes/configure.php

The database information needs to be updated on the new admin file.

As for the store front error message, that is resolved through using zc_install to do a database only upgrade. That would be understood if one of the upgrade/transfer instructions were reviewed, but it seems that neither was referenced considering it appears by the above statement that the site was both moved and upgraded together rather than one at a time.
