    I don't think you read the install instructions that come with zencart...

    One of the fist things you must do when you have FTP'd all the files to the server, is configure the CHMOD permissions.

    Here is the actual text of that instruction:

    Set Permissions on folders
    Now, change the permissions on the following directories to 777 (read/write/execute).

    /catalog/cache
    /catalog/images
    /catalog/includes/languages/english/html_includes
    /catalog/media
    /catalog/pub
    /catalog/admin/backups
    /catalog/admin/images/graphs
    The one you need to pay attention to in this instance is

    /catalog/includes/languages/english/html_includes

    I had the same problem as reading the installation instructions gives the impression to set permissions on folders, not any of the files, whereas the error is more related to the actual php file's permissions and when reading https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=9 it mentions...
    Connect to your site with your FTP program.
    Move to your public_html directory, and perhaps into your "zencart" folder underneath public_html, if you've used a subfolder.

    Then look for a "Properties" command that can be applied to that directory (often if you right click, Properties will be one of the options).
    Then change the permissions to the needed setting for the following folders:
    (If prompted whether to include files/folders underneath them (also called "recursive"), say or check "Yes")

    All of these to 777 (unless you're running PHP in suPHP mode -- ask your hosting company for confirmation, in which case 755 is appropriate):
    */cache
    */pub
    */images
    */includes/languages/english/html_includes
    */admin/backups
    */admin/images/graphs

    so change folder AND file permissions and see if that works, it worked for me.

    once you have made your changes using htmlarea be sure to change the permissions back to 644 or 444 of the files you are editing to keep your store secure.

    Thanks...I get it done already...luckly you shown me that change at the properties that side, otherwise I still can't find where to change the 755 to 777.

    Thank you very much!!
