first time store - several attempts
per zen instructions:
I created database
I downloaded notepad++
I uploaded zen v150 files to ftp - uploaded to root/htdocs/zen (tried to make a directory in the root file but would not let me)
during upload there were four (4) of the htaccess files that failed. I was able to upload them one at a time in their appropriate files with no problem.
I renamed the two (2) files dist-configure.php located in the admin/includes and includes directories to configure.php and I changed the permissions to 777
I set all the permissions per the zen installation instructions.
Gather all the necessary info needed to begin installation
Finally ready to install - started the installation
system check fine except for (shoot I can't remember the warning but it said that zen can run no problem just if it was off it would be more secure - sorry)
continued
now the first time I was actually able to get this loaded I apparently came across the screen where you create a username and temp password because I did this. But when I tried to get to the admin section of my store it kept on bringing me back to the installation screen. So I thought I'd screwed up so I re-installed files and repeated above steps. Never again to come across the admin login page.
Now when you type in mystorename.com it brings up page that says I've created store and two red boxes at top telling me to delete some files and that the store is under maintenance and closed to the public. It looks like the page would if you were a customer except for the two statements at the top in red.
OMG I hope I haven't confused you all. My question is where is the admin section? How do I get to the page where I can actually begin to design my store???? Help I've tried my best for the past three days to figure this out myself and I just can't. I'm sending the configure.php files from admin/includes and includes directories. Please someone help me. I'm reduced to begging now. Thank you in advance for your help!!!
