Updrade problem.

[Serious]

okay.
So I've gone back and looked at the new DB name and it matches the one in both the includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php

[Serious]

Should the DB Server and the DB Username be the same?
I'm thinking not.....

[Serious]

Of course it's not supposed to be the same!!

Fixed and the correct screen popped up as expected.
After completing the DB Upgrade to do get the following error messages though....

SKIPPED: Cannot insert configuration_key "STORE_TELEPHONE_CUSTSERVICE" because it already exists
SKIPPED: Cannot insert configuration_key "SSLPWSTATUSCHECK" because it already exists

Those messages simply indicate that some of the steps that the upgrade is doing, have already been done. They are not errors.

sigh......

this is your first time using zen cart® and you haven't yet completed the normal installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, click here to begin installation.

Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
See the online faq and tutorials area on the zen cart® website for assistance.

From CUSTOMADMIN/includes/configure.php

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p1) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/home/seriouso/public_html/seriouso_new/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', preg_replace('#^' . str_replace('-', '\-', $p2) . '#', '', dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) . '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/home/seriouso/public_html/seriouso_new/');

I'm used to v1.39h and having to go into configure.php and entering the Custom Admin Name.

Should I just wipe out everything in the public_html folder and start over?

sigh, I'm not sure whether that came from accessing the storefront, or from accessing the admin

[Serious]

Same for admin and seriousoffroadproducts dot com

[DrByte]

The key is in:
3. Additional Details: includes/configure.php file contents invalid. ie: DIR_FS_CATALOG not valid or not set


And that's either because the contents of the file are invalid, or you've set the file's permissions too low for the file to even be readable.

[Serious]

I set the permissions to 777.

The path in each is home/seriouso/public_html/seriouso_new
That's the full path based on the directory tree.

very frustrated.....

Okay, then what are the contents of the /includes/configure.php file *now* (you made changes since you posted it earlier, or if you didn't, then that's why you're having a problem)
