uploaded to a test site, but url does't work. Configure files?

[mendo1]

Hi. I am preparing to upgrade from zen 1.5.4 to 1.5.5f. This question is regarding a new install of zen cart 1.5.5f in a test folder. There are no plug-ins or add-ons or modifications at this point. I have uploaded the new version to a new folder (zen151fdemo) on my Hostgator linux sever in the public_html folder. My current live site is running php 5.6 and I set the new demo folder to run php 7.1. I ran the ZC_install app and it said it was successful and provided a link to the storefront (organicattire.com/zen151fdemo) and a link to the admin (organicattire.com/zen151fdemo/salience). However, neither of these links work. I just get a “page not found” page on my live site. I can access the new demo storefront by typing in organicattire.com/zen151fdemo/index.php. And I have been able to access the admin area by putting in organicattire.com/zen151fdemo/salience/index.php. But, I cannot figure out why the regular urls do not work. I think it must be something I am missing in the configure files, but I can’t see what, so I am posting them here hoping someone can help.

These are the pertinent parts of the 2 configure files as they are now on the demo site. Thanks very much.

Hi. Never mind, I found the problem. I needed to add the new test folder to the rewrite rules from the Ceon uri mapping app that I have installed on my live site. The changes are made in the includes/.htaccess file. Works now.
