Trouble installing Zen Cart on XP PC

True - the session files wouldn't be generated if the folder wasn't writable. I missed that in your earlier post.

Open the /zc_install/includes/installer_params.php file, and change

  define('STRICT_ERROR_REPORTING', false);

to read TRUE instead of FALSE.
Now what happens when you go through the installer?

I've changed the expression, but I get the same result.
I begin to suspect that I've done something wrong in the configure-files.

Please see the enclosed files, one admin configure file (a_configure.php) and one public configure file (p_configure.php)
(renamed here to keep them apart).

What happens if you point your browser to the /extras/curltest.php file ?

[pluto]

When testing with the curltest.php,
I get internal server error 500

[DrByte]

That suggests that your PC's PHP configuration isn't set up to handle CURL. The apache errorlog will tell you more about the specific reason for the 500 error.

Hi, I didn't know I needed CURL to do the install.
Anyway meantime I have DL Filezilla and installed the program as a service.
That didn't help either...

Is it so that I must have a Server OS to run Zen-Cart?

I really would love to have the Zen-Cart up and running for testing and later as a fully functional web-site.
