Would normally suggest putting the test above the root and name it _test for security.
You do not need to do anything to the configure files on a new install. The system will propagate them for you.
You will not get an upgrade button on any new install. The upgrade option in zc_install is only available IF/AFTER you have brought in an older database backup.
https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/first...t-using-cpanel is a good start but I need to add about keeping an existing site running while upgrading. You may not need to do the _test folder but it would allow you to set a higher PHP level for the new site.
