    Default I already have 1.5.1 installed but I want to do a fresh install (on 1.5.4)

    I've found the installation documentation, but is there any documentation as to how I delete my existing installation please?

    Thanks

    Just delete the database from your hosting control panel (if you don't want to use it for the new installation) and delete all the folders and files from the old installation. You can do that using FTP, but I've found he control panel File Manager is faster.

    Thanks for your help. Just one more question.... when I delete the files is it just those files in /public_html or is it all the files under / (root) that I need to delete, please?
    Thanks!

    Generally, the folders and files in public_html.

    Another "clue" is to make sure that there is a file named ipn_main_handler.php in the "base" diretory; that's the root of a Zen Cart installation.

    Thanks for your reply. I did find the ipn_main_handler.php file in my /public_html folder, so from what you say, I will be correct to delete the files from the /public_html folder.

    Thanks!
