Downloaded latest version of Zencart today directly to my webserver, CentOS, PHP 5.3, MySQL 5.1.39.

Running zc_install the config checks are all green apart from an alert on the database.

I enter all the relevant info for database setup and submit. The next page; zc_install/index.php?main_page=database_setup is filled with gobbledygook random text.

I checked whether the database had been updated in phpmyadmin and it has. Therefore the script is authenticating and updating the database then crashing.

I installed the patch for PHP 5.3 but I get the same result.

Suggestions welcomed.
