Difficulty upgrading from 1.3.9 to 1.5.0

Hi,

I will attempt to answer the pro forma questions:
Current Version ZenCart 1.5.0
Upgrade over the past couple days - from 1.3.9
Upgrade performed via official procedure - ie. upload and run zc_install
No customization
URL is www.metalboatsociety.org/ZenCart
I think server is ok
Yes
Yes - When I attempt to access the admin area the system responds with an error screen "System Setup Required"
It seems most likely that I have got something wrong with one or both of the configure.php files - I used the dist-configure files as templates and attempted to copy appropriate data from the 1.3.9 system (it didn't seem to have an admin/includes/configure.php).
I have checked both the error log in ZenCart/admin and in ZenCart - both are NULL. - which is odd

The configuration is standard at this point (haven't yet hidden those things which need to be hidden)
so we have root at / and the store at /public_html/ZenCart

I attempted to upload both config files (renamed with .txt extensions) but got an invalid file message. Oh well, not my day...

This is the ZenCart/includes configure.php

Thanks for your time,

A little more info:
The zc_install process completed the installation in a manner satisfactory to itself. So presumeably the database information in the config files worked ok.
I have since removed the zc_install

I ran the fix_cache_key fix - it did some synchronizing. The code was subsequently removed as recommended.

I cleared cookies, cache and restarted browser.

Checked SSL on site - seems ok.

Have looked through a bunch of posts and FAQ's - have not found a good match yet??

Having trouble understanding from your post what the present problem is.

Hi DrByte,

When I attempt a to access the admin login I get the following page::

==================================================================================
Zen Cart®
Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart®.
You are seeing this page for one or more reasons:

This is your first time using Zen Cart® and you haven't yet completed the normal Installation procedure.
If this is the case for you, you will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).

Your /includes/configure.php and/or /admin/includes/configure.php file contains invalid path information and/or invalid database-connection information.
If you recently edited your configure.php files for any reason, or maybe moved your site to a different folder or different server, then you'll need to review and update all your settings to the correct values for your server.
See the Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart® website for assistance.

To begin installation ...

The Installation Documentation can be read by clicking here: Documentation
You will need to upload the "zc_install" folder using your FTP program, and then run zc_install/index.php via your browser (or reload this page to see a link to it).
The Online FAQ and Tutorials area on the Zen Cart® website will also be of value if you run into difficulties.

========================================================================================

Cannot move past it...

The installation procedure appeared to complete satisfactorily.
I also disabled the .htaccess file in the ZenCart root.

I am guessing that the issue relates to something incorrect in one or both of the config files as the message says. I did use the dist-config files and copied the info from the config files in the previous version. The previous version did not seem to have a config file in the admin/includes directory although admin did work ok - so I did wing it a bit there.

Many thanks for your time,
Graham

Oh well, not my day...After wading through your initial post to figure out what it is you are asking/have done the part I have quoted above stood out. I would suggest that the issue is your configure.php files and something being amiss there. (DB prefix, file paths, DB logins, etc) and BTW there is indeed an admin/includes/configure.php in v1.3.9.

I do hope your are not doing this on your live site, but on a dev/staging/test site instead

shop2drop:

This is the ZenCart/admin/includes/configure.php

//define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/metalhd8/public_html/ZenCart/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(FILE) . '/../') . '/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/');
What's with the commented-out line vs the replacement with '/' for DIR_FS_CATALOG ?

Thank you - you hit the nail on the head!! The wrong line is commented out.

I don't know how I did that, or managed to look past it the last gazillion times I have walked thru the file.

Many thanks for your assistance,

Graham

ps. And thanks also to Ajeh for covering my bad
