Thanks Alan, didn't see the reply until today! Having more issues.
[edit] Oh! About the configuration file - the field about whether it's a new or existing install should say "1" (existing) for an upgrade, I assume?
Eschewing the Fantastico install (as you actually suggested) I did a straight original install, but I'm getting a problem with the version 3 admin backend - the entire menu system is flaked out - nothing shows except the initial (inside) panel. The files seem to be there, so I'm not sure why it can't find them - maybe a base ref or file permission or something. Arg. BTW, the permissions are 644, that should be good, shouldn't it for these includes?

Exactly. The only problem is that the cpanel extract will not overwrite any existing files and there don't seem to be options to change that. I'd use the shell but in other apps I have had permission problems since the owner is not the webuser.
An important point... but that leaves me wondering how to tell which ones. I followed the instructions about which folders to delete but as mentioned, something went wrong. As far as I recall, everything should be uploaded except the config file. I shall check shortly.
Yes, iI was fine with that. Thankfully I am moving to another host for it.
Ok, off to go through it yet again and try to find what's going wrong. Thanks for the suggestions.
