well, configuring the new phpesp requires some getting used to, so read
the INSTALL doc as well, it explains in detail how to configure the new
system ("3. Configuring phpESP").
You might want to test a "fresh" install first, so as to understand the
config part (which is in fact very simple, but being different from
1.8.2 ...). An example config is provided
(admin/phpESP.ini.php.example), just rename it to admin/phpESP.ini.php,
and change what is needed (the defaults are found in
admin/phpESP.ini.php.default, but don't change that file).

The database upgrade is done automatically after you update the files
to the new version (and configured the new version). See the bottom
part ("UPDATING DATABASE") in the UPDATE doc.
