Hi all,

The webstore I've been working on for the past 8 hours has been down after I tried to upgrade from 1.3.9 to the latest version.

I downloaded the files, and unzipped them into the /shop (zencart root) folder, than ran zc_install. All seemed kind of fine I guess.

I know I should have done a test directory, but I tried and had issues with wordpress getting in the way.. so I figured I'd just create backups and could revert if need be.

Eg I created a zip and a directory copy of the /shop folder, and well as exported the zencart .sql file to my desktop.

I've spent the whole afternoon wondering why after the upgrade, the /shop still shows all products etc, but I was getting a blank screen when trying to load the /shop/admin page.

I followed many methods from many forums and finally got it so it would ask me to login. I logged in, and now all I see is this:

WARNING: Site is currently set to Down for Maintenance ...

You can view and archive Admin Activity details via the Admin Access Management menu, if you have appropriate permissions.
You can view and archive Admin Activity details via the Admin Access Management menu, if you have appropriate permissions.

The only clickable link is the 'You can view and archive Admin Activity details via the Admin Access..' one.

The rest of the admin panel is blank.

I'm quite sure I got the /shop/includes/configure.php and /shop/admin/includes/configure.php files correct, as it was finally after modifying them and ensuring the folders were congruent with the previous ones saved in the original configure.php files on my desktop.. that the login would even come up.

Any help would be appreciated. I get the feeling I might be up all night trying to fix this. I only just got this job but not sure I will have it in the morning if I can't get the store working again!!

Some details which might be useful
