To be sure we understand each other. In the modules directory there are only three sub-directories, none of them have the name of the template you are using in ZC, correct? Shipping, payments, and orders I think are the name of the three directories.I too am a little as you say jaded, I installed v1.3.9h, v1.5.0, and v1.5.1 each individually and as an upgrade in one setup and things went fine. It's those odd things that generally have to be corrected/discovered. So, is your current setup an upgrade or fresh install?

thank you for taking time out to assist a newbie. it is a fresh install. in the modules directory there is classic, debug_blocks, order_total, pages, payment, shipping, sideboxes and a list of php files

Well, if a fresh install, then would suggest uploading all of the files again. (Or downloading all of them, comparing to a fresh install and uploading those that have differences.) Sometimes in an upload, one or more files do not get received/saved as they should be and this results in things not working. It could also be a database error, but off the top of my head, I don't know what values would need to be removed from the database to force a clean slate.

Earlier you said you had an update button, what happened when you clicked on it?

nothing happened when i clicked update. the first 2 times i extracted the files on my pc then ftp'd them to the server which caused some files to be missing. on my third fresh install of 1.51. ( i uploaded the zip file to the server and used cpanel to extract the files.)

when i installed 1.39, i did the same thing, uploaded the zip to server then extracted it there. no issues with the cart so far.

has anybody else encountered this issue with their v1.51 cart also? i tried google, zen-cart forum search, reading through documentation help but couldn't find a solution to this particular issue.
