Manual Install Procedure

[seans]

Hi there

I've been trying to setup Zen Cart but cannot seem to get past the "Save System Setup" step. I've tried numerous 'fixes' but nothing seems to help.

How can I go about doing a manual install i.e. not using the step-by-step install?

what errors are you getting in the save system settings?

Well once I click Save System Settings it timeouts after a while and I get a 404 error.

These are my settings:

Hi NickC

I'm no expert but does your PHP API Mode not have to be set to apache module?

Manual install worked perfectly for me as explained here by Vger(thanks).
