Thanks for the reply. I've read that thread, but I don't really understand what I'm supposed to do. I tried deleting all the files except my template files and the config files and re-uploading a fresh copy of 1.5.1, but that just made it worse. Now neither the front or back end are working. The catalog page (which was blank before) now is the "System Setup Required" page, even though I've done the install. This is the error I'm getting now from the blank admin page:

[19-Sep-2013 09:44:09] PHP Warning:  require(/home/content/k/b/w/kbwebdesign/html/privatestore/includes/autoload_func.php) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/80/6628180/html/privatestore/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 147
[19-Sep-2013 09:44:09] PHP Fatal error:  require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/home/content/k/b/w/kbwebdesign/html/privatestore/includes/autoload_func.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/content/80/6628180/html/privatestore/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 147

I'm upgrading my php from 5.2 to 5.3, hopefully that will make a difference. The includes/autoload_func.php file doesnt even exist on the server anymore, and is not included with a fresh install of 1.5.1. The admin version doesn't exist there either since the admin folder is now renamed. I wish I knew where this stuff was being incorrectly referenced, because I've double checked the config files and they are both correct. I've also cleared by browser cache. Maybe the template overrides? I wouldn't even know where to start.

This is why we need answers to the posting tips. 1.5.1 is gonna bomb with anything lower than 5.2.14.
I hope you are not using a script installer.
Please answer as many of the posting tip items as you can.
Do you have backups of your old database?
Take a look at http://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3-...d-of-upgrading for a better way to work this. You (like many) are trying to kill a fly with a bazooka when you do a reload mid-stream.

I upgraded my php, but I also noticed there were files missing from the install. I re-downloaded the full package and re-uploaded to my site, re-installed, and it seemed to fix my issues. Although my template was completely screwed, I had to redesign the site with a new one. Thanks for the help.
