v1.39h doesn't contain configure.php files?

[lukeciw]

i downloaded the lastest release, but found that the configure files in both admin/includes and includes were missing.
i have downloaded it several times and each time i find the same thing.
can somebody help me?

The download comes with dist-configure files, which are changed into configure files at installation time. It has been this way for years.

so when i unpack the zip and start install. i get missing configure files in 'admin/includes' and in' includes' how to i go about solving this.
on windows i didnt have this problem, but being new to linux i get this when i start to install it on local machine.

The files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

do NOT come with the Zen Cart download ...

The are called:
/includes/dist-configure.php
/admin/includes/dist-configure.php

so that on upgrades, you do not accidentally overwrite your customized files for:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

on a new install, if you follow the instructions, you need to rename:
/includes/dist-configure.php
/admin/includes/dist-configure.php

to the:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

these will then be configured during the Installation ...

On an Upgrade, you do NOT use these files as you will already have the files from the previous Installation ...
