Updated wamp + zen cart tutorial for Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Wamp Server 2.0i
This tutorial is for Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Wamp Server 2.0i.
Step 1:
Step 2:
- Follow the steps in the .pdf tutorial to install wamp server.
Continue untill you hit Step 6 in "Setting up a root Password for WampServer".
Step 3:
- In step 6 in "Setting up a root Password for WampServer", in the file C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\config.inc.php you need to ADD!!! in the end of the file but before the ?> sign the following lines:
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'd4uhpnfay9';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'd4uhpnf9';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPasswordRoot'] = false;
You need to do this without converting the file to DOS format. UltraEdit can do the editing without the conversion, get it at ultraedit.com
Continue untill you hit Step 12 in "Setting up a root Password for WampServer".
Step 4:
- There is no php_mcrypt extension on wamp 2.0i, it's integrated now so there is no need to specifically add it.
Continue untill you hit Step 4 in "Install Zencart 1.3.7 on your new WampServer"
Step 5:
- Use this address instead
"http://localhost/zencart/zc_install/index.php"
Step 6:
- In the file C:\wamp\www\zencart\zc_install\includes\application_top.php change line 22 and add a"@" in the begining of the line, instead of:
set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
You get:
@set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
Continue untill you hit Step 4 in "Install Zencart 1.3.7 on your new WampServer"
Step 7:
- We need to turn on ssl in apache.
left click wamp icon->Apache->Apache modules->ssl_module
Wait a minute or two.
I got stuck right after this step.
Step 8:
- Create a database for zen cart:
Open phpMyAdmin and goto Priviliges,
click "Add New User"
Username: zencart
Host: Change the drop box to Local and type localhost
Password: zencart
Check "Create database with same name and grant all privileges"
Select the following premissions:
- FILE (optional, but easiest to leave it checked)
- CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES (not required by the core code, but may be required by some addons)
- LOCK TABLES (required for database backups)
Press "Go"
So can someone help?

OK, as I learned lately, Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Wamp Server 2.0i don't work together.
You need Wamp server version 2.0h.
You do everything the same except skip stap 6 and disregard step 4.
Even Step 8 goas smoothly.
Cheers

What is the likely causes that make Step8 failed when using 2.0i as against 2.0h??

Wampserver 2.0i contains PHP 5.3.0 which Zen Cart v1.3.8a and older are NOT compatible with. That's why you need to use the older version of wamp.

So, can I just d/l an older PHP addon and still run it under 2.0i??
The steps above is abit confusing as there are so many StepX in the manual and the post.. :P
Re: Updated wamp + zen cart tutorial for Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Wamp Server 2.0i
I don't know the answer to your question, as I don't use wampserver.
I would suggest uninstalling the incompatible version of wampserver before installing the compatible version.

I am having this problem and I end up to this tutorial. I'll try this up and hope that it works for me. I'll say something later. Thank you.

Today, installed Wamp on Windows7 laptop...only wamp version that would work is 2.0h, which has php 5.29 and so did not require zencart 1.3.8.a to be patched...
