So then, when making the new files part of the live store, what was done with the old files?
According to the directions given by Zen Cart, i uploaded the new files to the old store allowing overwrite...then adjusted the permissions...then ran zc_install. After that, removed zc install and everything seemingly works then i found those errors. Looking at the logs folder I see the following and i removed personal info so i don't worry about it:
