Hello -
I'm in the process of migrating my live Zencart site (on MS IIS) to a new server (Linux) and thought I would use the opportunity to upgrade as well.
I have followed the procedures for downloading the live site to my local PC, downloaded a copy of the 'live (current)' version (1.5.1) to local PC and run winmerge to compare and compile a list of changes and made them on the Linux site in addition to renaming the admin folder to tm_admin.
The 'new version' was auto installed using Softaculous and unfortunately I didn't retain the prefix (but have modified the includes/config.php and admin/includes/config.php files to reflect the prefix from the live DB.
I dropped all the tables from the Linux DB and imported the live DB info, and knew I would have to run an DB upgrade. In order for this to happen, I had to download, locally, a copy of 1.5.5f to extract the zc_install folder which was deleted in the auto install.
Everything seemed to work fine, I got the message to upgrade the DB and provide superuser password, but received the message that the "User could not be verified."
Searching the forums turned up several possibilities. I did a SQL reset to Admin, updated the password and tried again. No joy. Added a new superuser. No luck.
Any help is much appreciated. I apologize if this has been answered. I read several threads and did a search but found nothing that did the trick.
MySQL v5.6.27; Apache v2.4.33; PHP v7.0.30; Live ZC v1.5.1; Linux copy 1.5.5f
Plugins used: Dover Fine Theme (loaded on both); Lightbox (not added to Linux version yet); Edit Orders (not added to linux version yet).
Can't provide a link to the site since the domain names have not been pointed to the new location yet. I have edited my hosts table to do the work locally.
