You need to upgrade your database also ;)

Thanks,

Thank you.

How do you do that?

The instructions don't mention an upgrade to the database. Am I missing something?

UPGRADE NOTES
To upgrade from v1.5.1 to v1.5.3
Simple: if you are using v1.5.1 already and have not customized any of the files listed in the changed_files-v1-5-2.html and changed_files-v1-5-3.html documents, then simply replace those files with the new versions contained herein.
If you HAVE customized or altered certain files, simply re-do your customizations in the new version of those particular files by making the same changes needed.
If you are using Addons/Plugins that have made alterations to those files, it is best to compare those changed files against the original v1.5.1 files, and see what changes were there ... and then re-build those changes in the v1.5.3 file.

So regarding the files, that all is true, but the files only make half of ZC. The other half is the database. That is upgraded like other upgrade instructions state by using zc_install on the store and choosing to upgrade the database only.

Thank you will give that a try. :)

I was not able to upgrade the DB thought the ZC utility from 151 to 153. Kept giving me an error on the admin username and password. No I did not use the DB username and password. Used the zencart username and password. Was unable to update the db.

I had the same problem. I ended up manually applying the 2 upgrade sql statements through SQL Patches. No problems when done.

Argh. There seems to be a bug in that password validation code specifically in v1.5.3 only.

We're working on a fix.

After uploading the fix, the password works, but it then goes to a white page and the following shows up in my /logs folder:

[20-Jul-2014 09:32:04 America/New_York] PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/user/html/catalog/../includes/classes/vendors/password_compat-master/lib/password.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/user/html/catalog/includes/classes/class.zcPassword.php on line 52

Someone else had posted about this same error on another thread as well. Let me know what needs to be done to fix this up. Thanks! :)
