403 Forbidden error on install - 1.2.7d

[Das123]

Hi,

I'm trying to install Zen-Cart behind Gallery2 but I keep coming up against a dreaded 403 during the install process.

I need to use 1.2.7d because Gallery2's module hasn't been upgraded to the 1.3.x versions of Zen-Cart.

The exact error is:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /cart/zc_install/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apache/1.3.36 Server at www.trekviews.com Port 80

It occurs just after clicking the 'Save System Settings' button on the System Setup Page. I don't have SSL so have both SSL settings set to 'No'.

The page address looks incomplete. It is:

http://www.trekviews.com/cart/zc_ins...he&is_upgrade=

Hope someone can shed some light.

grab the /zc_install/.htaccess file from the v1.3.5 zip and add it to your /zc_install folder
This should work around the mod_security limitations which your host likely has installed.

Thankyou.

That fixed it.
