Fresh install with fuzzy images

**gretzlertech** · 23 Mar 2007, 08:14 AM

Hello everyone! I'm a brand new zenner and I'm having some issues. I just installed (via the install docs) and I can't seem to get the images to work properly. They're all.... well..... fuzzy. I tried deleting everything, starting over (with fresh upload via FTP), and it looks the same as it did before. You can see it at http://www.scrapbooksbyjulie/store. Can someone tell me what's goin on here? Thanks.

Hey I looked and did not see your store??

Your install is in a bit of a mess.

It looks like you've created a directory called STORE, then moved the default lunarpages index.html file into that.

---------------------------------------------------

If I try

http://www.scrapbooksbyjulie.com/

I get your index listing (THIS IS INSECURE)

---------------------------------------------------

If I try

http://www.scrapbooksbyjulie.com/store

I get a SERVER NOT FOUND

----------------------------------------------------

If I try

http://www.scrapbooksbyjulie.com/store/

I get the LUNARPAGES WELCOME, indicating that you have MOVED this into your store directory. Get rid of it.

---------------------------------------------------

If I try

http://www.scrapbooksbyjulie.com/store/index.php

I get your installed zenstore with the configure.php warnings

and bad images.

So your ftp of the images is corrupt.

---------------------------------------------------

It would appear that you are not following some important domain setup conventions.

--------------------------------------------------

Suggestions:-

1. MOVE the lunarpages default index.html file back into the root directory.

2. Clean out (delete) ALL files and folders in your /store/ directory.

3. Get a good FTP program.

4. RE LOAD (ftp) zencart into /store/ and do a fresh install.

5. Consider installing zencart WITH demo products, as this will help you learn how zen cart works.

6. After installing zencart, CHMOD your configure.php files to 444 via lunarpages C-Panel (File MAnager).

7. RENAME or REMOVE the zcinstall folder.

After I did my install, I tried to move the files to a different directory (I originally installed straight to public_html and it was 3 AM) and I moved them improperly. I was using fire FTP (firefox add-on) to upload with. I downloaded filezilla and I am trying again. I'll upload the zen cart file (minus the irrelevant files and folders) and reinstall and see what happens. The image problem manifested itself after the second installation attempt. This now makes number 5. I do, by the way, have the book (which is very helpful).

Alright, I reinstalled it (using filezilla instead of fire FTP) and now it appears to be working. I changed all the relevant permissions so all seems well. Now, how do I remove the file list from the root directory in the web browser?

I take it your shop is now in a SUB directory?
If so, create a welcome HTML page in your root directory, and call it "index.html"

Here's an example:-

HTML Code:

<html><head><title>MY HOME PAGE</title>



<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb">
<meta name="robots" content="follow, index"></head><body>

<div align="center">
&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;</p>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" width="750">
	<tbody><tr>
		<td align="center" valign="top">

		<a target="_self" href="http://www.mysite.com/shop/index.php">ENTER OUR SHOP</a></td>
	</tr>

</tbody></table></div></body></html>
