Take a moment to check whether your webserver supports the features required for Zen Cart™ to operate. Please resolve any errors or warnings before continuing. Then click on Install to continue

No more info or choice for me to continue.

I have bluehost as my host, the steps I followed were:
1. I installed an instance xiexianhui.com/test
2. Using FileZiller, I upload everything onto /public_html/test on the server under xiexianhui.com
3. I followed instructions on your readme by:
3.1 Creating the configure.php files
3.2 Set Permissions on folders
4. Installation was automatically started after I enter: xiexianhui.com/test
5. The auto process stopped at System Inspection, it didn't return me any result about the inspection.:no:

What can I do now?

Thank you again for your help.

I managed to continue but stuck again at the attached screenshot, can anyone tell me how to fix it and moving forward? Thank you very much.

Your problems are not to do with the template, they are to do with installing ZenCart, you need to post in the appropriate forum as You cannot install the template until zencart is correctly installed and working

One of these forums would be the one to post in depending on how you are being hosted

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=5

having said that try setting your database host to localhost

Not really, I already installed Zen Cart with Bluehost's SimpleScript, very easy and simple. I then try to apply the template, and I encountered this problem by following the instruction of the template.

I believe the unzipped template files can be uploaded to the server and then there should be an option to let admin to choose a template.

Can someone shed me more light on this?:frusty::frusty::frusty:

Thank you very much.

I finally got this step resolved. I was helped by Bluehost's support to install database and username and associate the user to the database with all privilege.

SO this step is over. :clap::clap::clap:

But that's the same as a Zen Cart installed without using this template. Please see the screenshot.

What am I missing?:frusty:

Thanks.

This is driving me nutter and nutter.

I followed the instruction and finished all the steps so it looks I should be fine now.

The website xiexianhui.com/test is still same look and feel like the standard default template.

So I am wondering maybe I need to make some adjustment in admin, then I tried to enter admin, I was prompted to make more changes (basically change admin's place by changing its name).

I followed the instruction here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=33

I double checked and made sure that I did follow the instructions. I changed it to admin1, so I should go to http://www.xiexianhui.com/test/admin1, the URL was forcely changed to http://www.xiexianhui.com/test/admin/alert_page.php

I got the famours 404 error, please see the screenshot.:frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

I am sorry, but all of this has nothing to do with the template. Please post your zen cart installation questions to the appropriate thread.

You do need to rename your admin folder and then you need to go to the new admin url in your browser.

Once you get your zen cart installed, read the readme.html file with the template package and then if you need help or have questions, please come back and post to this support thread.

Thanks,

Anne

My site is up and running with the great help from BlueHost tech support guy.:clap::clap::clap:

http://www.xiexianhui.com/test


Now I want to remove the very bottom box of Zen Cart ad, just below the IP address, I used to be able to add or remove it in Tools/BoxControll/footer???

After installed this template, I don't see the boxcontrol for footer??

How do I turn off the box?

Thank you very much.

I got it, the footer can be turned off by going to configuration->layout settings->Banner Display Group->Footer Position 3, Leave blank for none, then the ZenCart ad is gone.

Okay, I figured out how to "turn off" important links but is there a way to "shift" the remaining 3 columns so they are centered in the footer?

Sorry Tom, I must have missed your question. You will have to edit the stylesheet_footer_menu.css file to restyle the footer menu. You might want to check the support thread for that module since this is a common question and I would imagine that it has been asked and answered there already.

Thanks,

Anne
