V1.5.8 - Patching v1.5.6c level database

Good day,
Can someone please tell me what my next step should be?

I had to upgrade v1.5.6c site =>> v1.5.8 in a php8.0 environment. (IP upgraded)
Somehow, I got the site running (?) but the backend is not right and reports
"Zen Cart 1.5.8 - Database Patch Level: 1.5.6"

(for instance: cannot change user or password)

Thankyou
kokolo

If you rerun zc_install you should be able to get through this.

Thank you!
Keeping the current store directory or a fresh 1.5.8 one?
and using the current mysgl database I assume.

The zc_install procedure updates your database, which is what it sounds like you need. I assume you would want to keep your current store directory if all the files are updated to 1.5.8.

As you step through the zc_install process, if you are not presented with an active button to do a database upgrade, then do not select to do a fresh install using the existing configuration. A database backup before attempting the process will allow a possibility of restoring.
