Install problem admin works but not store.

[chrisw]

Okay I am a little stumped I installed zencart on a test server and everything seem to have gone well. However I can only get to the admin pages the store itself just displays the started need to install this page.

This is running on a hosted linux server running apache. I have gone through trying to compare directory. Also I have been digging in the documention but haven't found anything helpful as per yet. If anybody could nudge me in the proper direction that would be greatly appreciated.

url please and what version of zencart are you using?

[chrisw]

http://www.shadowwolves.org/zencart/ and 1.3.8

Would it help if I pasted the config files?

That page normally only appears when the config settings in your /includes/configure.php file are pointing to either invalid database details or invalid path details.
While the admin version of the file is different from the non-admin version, a comparison of the database settings and the path settings often reveals where the errors lie.

That is what has me confused compairing them the paths seem identical same with the database info.

Admin config

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/zencart/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/zencart/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', './../admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', './../');

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', '192.168.0.1');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'zencart');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'zencart');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'zencart');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

catalog config

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', './../');

define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', '');
define('DB_SERVER', '192.168.0.1');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'zencart');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'zencart');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'zencart');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

The actual info for connecting to the database I changed just because it's a public forum. But they were both identical to begin with.
