Hosting co migrated to new server. Need to point admin index.php to new IP address.

GoDaddy recently migrated my hosting account to a new server. As a result, I need to update the A record for https://www.mysite.com/zen-cart/admin/index.php so it points to the new IP address. I am not sure what version of ZenCart I have other than it's an older one. I believe I have PHPTriad and MyWinSQL. I'm sure this issue has come up before, but I throughly searched the forum without finding anything addressing the hosting company moving the account to a new server. GoDaddy Support's efforts to help was unsuccessful because the subdomain was appearently not set up through their hosting control center.
The rest of https://www.mysite.com pages work. How do I get the ...index.php page to display? I am not tech savvy so wording responses in simplified as possible language would be appreciated. Thank you.

Have you changed /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php to point to your new zencart url and local zencart directory?

If it still doesnt work, what to you mean with point to a new IP adress? Usually you shop is accessed with a domain name (https://www.myDomain.com), and if the domain name hasnt changed, the only different thing can be the local directory where the zencart files are located.
