Im on step 10 in the beta upgrade for open cart 1.4 to 1.5 Can someone help me out. Where i need to put the address in the browser to go install the program it takes me to open cart.com do i need to login or what? Im so confused. Ive never done a beta upgrade like this. Tech support said i should enter this in instead of what it says on step 10 but it goes to same place:

THIS VERSION OF THE SCRIPT DOES SUPPORT PRODUCT OPTIONS
THANK YOU FORUM MEMBER "IBBOARD" FOR THIS NEW ABILITY.
IF UPGRADING FROM 1.4.x to 1.5.x,
The upgrade process will:
- Preserve your customers, products, options, orders, etc
- Change your theme to "default"
- Preserve and convert your additional stores to the new system
- Preserve your coupons and update the coupon history (but with a 0.00 discount amount for past orders)
The upgrade process will not:
- Preserve your module layout or settings as the module system has changed
- Preserve your theme as the layout system has changed. Though the theme folder will still exist
- Preserve your welcome message as that is a module now
- Preserve any custom modules

STEP 1. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE!
STEP 2. BACKUP YOUR STORE FILES VIA FTP OR CPANEL!
STEP 3. RENAME YOUR EXISTING config.php and admin/config.php to "config.bak"
STEP 4a. UNZIP AND UPLOAD ALL THE NEW OPENCART FILES OVER YOUR EXISTING FILES
STEP 4b. If you haven't already, Upload the install folder from the beta2 upgrade zip file
STEP 5. DELETE THE "NEW" config.php and admin/config.php files that come with the new files
STEP 6. RENAME config.bak and admin/config.bak to "config.php"
STEP 7. EDIT config.php (not admin/config.php)
STEP 8. FIND: // DIR
STEP 9. BEFORE, ADD: (IF IT DOESN'T ALREADY EXIST):
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://mysite.com/image/');
define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://mysite.com/admin/');
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://mysite.com/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://mysite.com/image/');
BE SURE TO CHANGE THE PATHS TO YOUR DOMAIN AND STORE.
IF USING A SUBDIRECTORY, BE SURE TO ADD IT TO THE PATH
IF USING SSL, BE SURE TO USE "https" for the bottom 2 entries
IF NOT USING SSL, BE SURE TO USE "http" for the bottom 2 entries
STEP 10.RUN THE UPGRADE SCRIPT:
http://mysite.com/install/upgrade-14x-to-15x.php
STEP 11a. IF it shows "SUCCESSFUL" then continue to the next step.
STEP 11b. IF it shows errors, then post them on the forum and wait for a reply
STEP 12. RUN THE BUILT-IN OPENCART UPGRADE FOR v1.5.1.3 or LATER by visiting:
http://mysite.com/install/index.php
STEP 13. Login to your admin panel and GOTO System->Users->User Groups
STEP 14. EDIT TOP ADMINISTRATORS AND CHECK ALL BOXES IN BOTH SECTIONS AND SAVE
STEP 15. GOTO System->Settings and verify each of your stores are listed there.
STEP 16. EDIT each store.
1. Update all the new fields with your settings.
2. Change the theme to "default".
3. Change Layout to "Default".
4. Update the new Image fields with dimensions
5. Save.
STEP 17. (OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED) Goto System->Design->Layout
Delete ALL layouts except for "Default", "Checkout", and "Home".
This will make it more like 1.4.x and keep things simpler when adding modules
You can always add them back, but it can be overwhelming for new users of the layout system
STEP 18. Visit your homepage. Hit Ctrl+F5 twice to clear your css cache.
You should see the main header and footer with NO products or modules. But no errors.
From this point on the store is in your hands and the upgrade process should be complete.
The next step is to begin adding the modules to the layouts...
Goto the Admin->Extensions->Modules section and edit the modules.
For example, Add a new instance of Latest Module to the "Content Top" position and choose the "home" layout.
Now refresh the front end, you should see the latest module
Continue on for each module for each page.
This is a beta script and your mileage may vary.
This was tested with a default install so customizations may cause additional problems
