I don't know where you are getting the idea that ANY of these things was necessary. Nothing in my post suggested that these things be done. You're trying to change tires on your vehicle while doing 65MPH through the I20 - I85 interchange.

If you continue to do other than what folks on the forum suggest, we are not going to be able to help. You'll just continue to make the hole deeper and wider.

No one will EVER tell you to mess with a working site during upgrade.

No one will ever endorse the early 1.5.x method of messing with either configure.php files. They are created by running zc_install.

There is no need to copy, create, delete, include, adjust, mangle, etc. ANY files on an install. Load the files and run the zc_install.

Please read sentence three of my post again.



I am trying to do an UPGRADE not a new install and following the instructions for upgrading in the zen-cart-v1.5.7-06232020/docs/2.readme_how_to_upgrade.html



  1. Back up your site from the server as well as the copy on your computer. DONE
  2. Backup your database DONE
  3. Create a new directory and copy your site into it DONE
  4. Then create a new database and load your old database in it DONE
  5. Next, change the two configure.php files to utilize the new directory and database This way … when you attempt to upgrade you are “practicing” to see where the problems, if any will happen DONE
  6. Make sure all appears to be working on your temp site. DONE all works except PayPal button in checkout
  7. Now load the “new” version files to your new temp directory from latest downloaded ZIP DONE loaded ALL the 1.5.7 files
  8. Run the http://www.yoursite.com/zc_install Did this step but the upgrade button does not display.



I have followed these steps above so what am I doing wrong?
