A few problems - Using GoDaddy as my host

[elkbow]

I went through the setup of the latest version ZenCart, and had some troubles so I thought I'd come here and see if anyone could help!

When trying to install the following problems were found:

CURL not compiled into PHP - notify server administrator
PHP Session Support is required
admin configure.php is not writeable
store configure.php is not writeable

I was unable to set the permissions for the configure files in /docs and /includes.

I'm really new to all of this, so I'm not sure what information to offer. I'm using GoDaddy as my host and my operating system is Windows. I'm not using any FTP Client aside from what is provided by GoDaddy because I haven't been able to connect for some reason.

The more details the explanation, the more helpful. I'm INCREDIBLY new to all of this and don't know very much. After hours of searching for answers and a day for waiting for help from GoDaddy I'm feeling more clueless than when I started.

Thanks in advance. :)

Ask GoDaddy to change your operating system to Lunix...
In the Windows OS you cannot change the permission by ftp, rather the host changes them. In lunix, your FTP can change the permissions.
Also note that when your setup, look at your server version in the administration area. If it does not show the DB is located at (localhost) 127.0.0.1, think about moving your site to a different hosting company. Without 127.0.0.1, your backup module may (MAY) not work.
